We find that the default permissions created by Windows when you populate the Profile Tab to be... less than optimal in our case.
We have students who get "Full Control" of their folders. Thus, they will grant permissions to other students read and/or write access, so they can copy their work. It's a 21's century version "looking at somebody else's answers on the test". To fix this, I have created a script that sets the permissions for the folders. It breaks inherent permissions, and applies the permissions I want. The users end up with Read, Write, Execute. I will on occasion repeat something when issues with permissions arise: "Permissions are Evil. But they are a necessary Evil." This is especially true in [Linux|unix]. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri, 09 Mar 2012 11:24:45 -0800 Subject: RE: (homedrive) > That explains things, I never knew it would auto-create the folder and > perms!
