By default, the user will be able to access D, even if the user cannot read A, B, or C. (There is a feature, "Bypass traverse checking", which allows this. It is enabled by default.) However, the user may not be able to *find* D if they can't read the parent folders. They would need to enter/type/know the path to D explicitly, rather than drilling down through folders. Shortcuts and hyperlinks can help here. If you want users to be able to navigate to D by clicking through parent folders, you'll need to give the users read permission to the parents folders. You don't need to grant them anything other than read/list on those folders, though. You can choose to apply the permission to "This folder only", for example. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
