Folder permissions

[FatBoy]

Hi All,

 

I’m moving the general staff network share from a 2008 server to a 2012 server it’s the main one all the staff use. The files are copied across fine and I’m setting the permissions exactly like they are on the old one, one big problem! For some reason the absence of a permission isn’t excluding access for people and I don’t get why!

 

Say I have a top level folder with all staff group on and then the folder under that I want to only let certain people to view/edit. Normally I disable inheritance remove the general staff group and then add the other group or few individuals I need to access the folder, simple right, correct me if I’m wrong???

 

The problem is the absence of a group/user doesn’t stop them accessing a folder and I have no idea why, I can add the general staff group and deny it that works but then the deny takes presidents over the allow and the people in the other group can’t write either (which is correct). I just can’t work out why the absence of a user/group doesn’t stop them getting in, help anyone please!!!! 

 

Thanks
