Then user will be able to see all folder/files. Is there any other option to allow only child folder access (D) without giving root folder access.

If so, you need permissions A and D If it were a local folder, everything else that has been said already would come into play.

Will he able to access that child folder. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is confidential and intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is privileged.
