Hello.
I'm the office manager for our small office.
We have a Windows 2003 server:
abc.local
active directory installed
dns installed
We are sharing a folder 'N' on the server:
It has 2 sub-folders ( 'A' and 'B' )
The 'A' folder should be read-only, and the 'B' folder should be full access, read/write etc.:
N-
|- A ( read only )
|- B ( full access )

We are sharing the 'N' folder.
For Permissions on the sharing tab we have:
1. Administrators (ABC\Administrators)
Full Control, Change, Read - All are Allow
2. Users (ABC\Users)
Full Control, Change, Read - All are Allow

On the Security tab for folder 'A', we have a group (ABC\AReadOnly) and the permissions are:
Read & Execute, List Folder, Read - set to Allow, everything else blank
On the Security tab for folder 'B', we have
a group (ABC\B) and the permissions are:
everything is allow.

The problem is that the users can read and write in both folder 'A' and folder 'B'.

How can we make folder 'A' a read only folder?

Thxs.

Are you sure it's not set to inherit from Parent? Are those the NTFS Permissions or the Share permissions you're listing?
