When a user creates a folder in shared folder the permissions are not being inherited from the parent. all folder permissions are granted by groups. I noticed that when a user creates a new folder and I chek the permissions on the folder the user has full control the admin groups will inherit but any other group will not inherit. ex: parent folder permissions domain admin full contol user group "A" read write user group "B" read only user in group "A" creates folder permission will be set on folder Domain admin full control user full control groups "A" and "B" no where to be found Scott

On the Root Folder you will need to check the box that says "Inherit from parent the permissions entries that apply to child objects." Every folder whose permissions should be pushed down need that check box. This is found under Security - Advanced on the folder. "Milk was a bad choice!"

the sub folders did have inherent from parent checked, i think that is why the admin group copied. I also tried checking and un-checking the inherit and it still would not put the other groups on. What I had to to do is on the parent folder replace permission on sub-folders to get thwe other groups to show up. Scott

What I'm saying is this... Let's say you have Folder1->Folder2->Folder3 heirarchy. Folder1 has admins as full, and inherit unchecked. Folder 2 has Everyone read and inherit NOT checked. Folder 3 would then have the everyone read, but would not have the admin ACE. To get all the ACE's, you need to have inherit set on both Folder1 and Folder2 in the scenario. May want to use XACLS.exe to see what's up with those permissions. They're in the XP support tools. Info on it: http://www.ss64.com/nt/xcalcs.html "Milk was a bad choice!"
