creating secure user folders in a shared network area

[jjohnsoncantell]

Greetings,

 

We have students doing their btec business mocks soon and to make life easier for the teachers it was decided to get them to save printouts of their completed tests. In our shared network area we have a read only curriculum drive in which i was going to create a business folder inside which would be a folder named as their class. Inside that it would be ideal to have them create a folder with their name and save their report in there but for it to be un-accessible to other students.

 

Please can someone suggest the best security permissions to allow them to do this, im sure its possible as i think ive done this before but it was so long ago i cant remember.

 

Many thanks

So effectively:

 

Top Folder - All Users Write (This folder only)

Creator owner - modify write (This folder and all subfolders etc)

Teachers - Read (This folder and all subfolders etc)

 

That kind of thing?

 

So top level folder anyone can create a folder in, and only they will get modify/read rights on this.

Teachers will have access to read and/or modify any folders etc

I actually set this up at last place for Media on an old server.

 

Using Group Policy preferences to create a folder with the correct permissions when the user logs in for the first time, I think I set it to run in logged in user permissions or something. It required no further admin on my behalf apart from clearing out at the end of the year.

 

Suggest you give it a test with one user and see what the experience is.

If you give pupils write and list permissions only, nothing else, they can copy and paste into that folder, but nothing else. Once it's there, they can't delete, modify, or read theirs or anybody else's work.

 

We do this (Pupil_DropDrive) so teachers can collect pupils work without going ng hunting for it.
