Security Permissions on Shared Folders

KennyB29583 — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:02:57 +0000

I have a resource server that serves a large number of users. We place all of our user accounts in groups based on their geographical location and organization function. We limit the permissions on folders to read/ srite, execute and delete. However, we do not give Full Control permissions. If a user creates a folder, is there anyway we can prevent that user or any other user (other than administrators) from changing or deleting security permissions on the folder?

When trying to access encrypted files, access is denied?

Wed, 07 May 2008 20:46:18 +0000

I am puzzled. I have encrypted several folders and the associated files that are in them. Now, for some reason, when I want to access a file (doc) it won’t let me! Also, when I try to decrypt the file it says “access is denied”. I double-checked the security setting of the file and my name is on the list! I need HELP!!!

mass security change on folders

We have a script that sets up new users. It sets where the profile directory is to go but does not create it. When the user first logs in it creates the directory and works fine. What I have found is that when it creates it the only account that has access to it is the user’s account. Local or Domain Admins do not have access unless I go in and take ownership of the directory. But If I do that the user’s account gets taken off of the security tab. So I re-add the account and give them full access to the folder, sub-folders and files. Then replicate it throughout the directory. When the user logs in they get an access denied to the profile directory even though I have checked the files and they have the rights. I have since changed the script to setup the folder too and set the correct rights. What I need to know is if there is a way to add domain admins full control rights to all the existing profile directories without hosing the user’s rights to the folder?
