We are a medical facility, under HIPAA regulations, that has a need to securely provide access to resources internally on our workgroup network to users outside the network.

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?

Is it possible to create a drop box for users to be able to copy files into but not view them or the folders contents afterwards. We have an Active Directory 2008 network. What permissions should we grant them or deny them to get this to work?

High School Computer Lab Network set up to prevent cheating

Rollinsm3 — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:10:35 +0000

I am trying to set up the network in my classroom to prevent students from stealing, renaming, deleting, etc. other students’ work on the shared folder. Before the teacher’s computer died, I was able to set up the permissions as write only, but the smart student could still rename someone’s file if it stayed in the shared folder. Now that my computer is back, I no longer have the option to set permissions. I have asked for a digital drop box, but the only program that we could use for that is moodle– free, a pain in the neck, and no instructions. Any suggestions? I know that you can protect documents in Word so that no one else can make changes, but we use many other programs other than Word. Please help!!

I need to be able to track whom does what and when but cannot do it with group logon and the Program Manager wants everyone to use one folder for all files. Thanks.
