In short no - if you give them change permissions, you may as well give them full owner (bit like NTFS, really). This is a definite user training issue for you and Ed's famous quote comes in here...

Tris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 October 2001 08:03 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Ex 5.5 Public Folder Permissions I am having a little difficulty with "owners" of folders deleting the top level folder for their group. Our environment has 500 or so Org Units and each org unit has a public folder visible to the whole org unit. Within the Org unit we assign 1 or 2 users with "owner" rights, and the rest of the members of the org unit are listed with "author" rights. Our problem is that the "owners" are accidently deleting the top level folders. Is there a way that we can assign permissions to someone which will allow them to: change the client permissions for the folder; view, edit and delete messages; create and delete subfolders; but not delete the top level folder? If you have any ideas I am happy to test and investigate further.
