I've set up a lab to do some basic testing involving moving shares to
AD. On the stand-alone (workgroup) server I've set up some shares with
various permissions. The permissions need to satisfy the following
criteria:

1. allow only read access to members of certain groups.
2. allow read and write access to members of certain groups.
3. allow full-control to members of certain groups to any files or
folders they create within a specified share.

Steps 1 and 2 work fine (as they shoud); however, I cannot get a user
belonging to the 3rd group to control access etc to any folders he
creaes on a share. I've tried every possible combination of Share
Permissions and NTFS Security short of allowing full ANONYMOUS access
to the whole drive. Can anyone shed light on this or am I missing
something obvious???

Thanks

RE: W2K3 WORKGROUP share permissions problem

Hi,

If you look at the default permissions on C:\ of any Windows XP machine it
will give you an idea.

Add the user CREATOR/OWNER and give it Full Control of all subdirectories
and files (usually default permission). This means anyone who creates a file
or folder will get full control of that file/folder.

Cheers,
Lara
