Hey guys,
I have been having trouble lately giving users' permissions to various directories. I'll start with the example.
First, I wanted to make a directory a user's home directory. It was a directory where there was mapping data. I made it his home directory, and made sure that himself, and someone else has full control privileges over it. Well there were other directories inside of the one that I made him full control. Unfortunately, he couldn't list what was in those directories, he could only rename or delete the folder. I had to give him privileges to every single folder in there just so he could even list the contents... even when he had list access it didn't work. Since he had Full Control at the Root of that directory, shouldn't the permissions trickle down? I know it's setup that way.
Also, for example I created a directory within that one directory that was having issues. Now there is E:\GIS\PREB (PReb being the users directory). I gave this other user FULL CONTROL over the PREB directory, and yet every time he even tries to go and adds a directory, it complains that access is denied... but he's got full control privileges!
What else can I check? I don't need to share these directories, right? That only means if you share something, it becomes public... right?
