Help Share/Security Permissions

I need assistance with Share and Security permissions. Is sharing folder a two step process? I shared a folder (ex. DOC) – I have 4 sub-folders under DOC. Some users need permissions for two of sub-folders and some for all 4 sub-folders. What are my steps? 1. Shared the main folder DOC -- what permissions are given – Full Control, Change and Read or just give them Read? 2. Share the main folder of DOC – and give everyone the Read permission of DOC and go to each sub-folder and use the Security to set the sub-folders’ permissions.

I'd give List to the main folder and Modify to the appropriate group for the sub folders.
As a rule, I never give Full Control to users for any shared folder.
Life's more painless for the brainless.

Since you only give List to the main folder and Modify to appropriate group for the sub folders. Does this mean you give Read permission to the share folder and List and Modify for NTFS security (permission).
