Permissions to stop moves

[stoggers]

Hi,

What are the implications of "Everyone, Full Control"?

It's just that I have several shared folders that constantly get messed up as users inadvertantly change the folder structure. We are happy with general read/write access but would prefer only the designated owner to be able to change/delete folders.

Would removing "Everyone,Full Control" achieve this?

As an additional question: is it possible to configure W2000 so that new folders do not automatically assign "Everyone, Full Control"?


Thanks,

Mike.

Depends on the application. I have our home folder set up for everyone full contol, but the folders below are not shared and removing the "Allow inheritable rites" is unchecked. When I uncheck the box, I select "Remove" and that takes everyone out of the security settings. Then I add admin and the user or group that will use it. If somebody tried to delete that one or access, they get "Access Denied." Try that on a test folder/sub-folders and see what happens. (I have a dummy account that I set up and I log into the network with my laptop next to my desktop. The dummy account has only basic user rites, so I can test the security.)

glen...

good answer... now i have a question wich is making me mad...
i created home folders for every user and they also have there own profile, etc... i also have dummy acount to test settings...
now:
the homefolders are located at the location \\server\hfolders
the folder "hfolders" is a shared folder with read only permissions
the problem is that every user that has a homefolder like this: \\server\hfolders\%username% can rename the folder "hfolders"
they cannot delete the folder but they can remame it.
i tryed several combinations of securitysettings and it always comes to the same problems...
any help on the issue would be apreciated.
thanks in advanced.

Keep on the good atitude
regards...
