File Server best Practice Permissions

[Theldron]

Hi all,

 

I just want to check on what people do. I have inherited a system where all students folders have the Users (\\Server\Users) permission in place, I normally get rid of this as I know it will give other users access to folders is this standard practice? Or should I go about it another way?

 

Cheers

I've always left SERVER\Users

We create a "Shares" folder at the drive root, break inheritance and remove the local user permissions.

 

Subsequent shares created within that folder inherit permissions from the "Shares" folder, not the drive.
