Little-Miss Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 I managed to un-share our Staff Common this morning...so now unfortuantely all the permissions are buggered. Staff were able to add/remove/edit from their Sub folders but not the the Root folder of Staff Common (as i want it kept tidy). Staff can currently access it, but cant add to subfolders. I as an admin on my machine cant either which is puzzling me more!! My permission edits dont seem to be taking effect HELP!
apeo Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 When you recreated the share did you give staff, admins etc atleast Modify? 1
AlexB Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Sounds silly, but check the share permissions are set to everyone read/write. (not security permission) 1
Little-Miss Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 Nope, you are right....thanks guys. Blind panic had set in.... *goes to lie down in dark corner*
AlexB Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 happy to be able to help... I darn't touch anything on my network today... the joys of Ofsted so I'm just sitting here waiting in case anything goes wrong... Don't have the nerve to change anything otherwise

apeo Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Given that its the Staff share I wouldnt give Everyone read/write... If you havent already, use NTFS permissions to lock down the root folder i.e. deny write for 'This folder only' on the root and grant secure down the subfolders as required. 1

I was talking about the share permissions, not the security/NTFS permissions.

Fair enough. I disagree, but everyone's opinion is valid so long as the result is the same.
