Once you give them read permissions on the shared folder, make sure that it applies to that folder and not follow through to all child objects within the folder. When they see the other folders and then try to open them then they receive an access denied error.
Another option would be to go into Active Directory, then the user's account. Go to the Profile tab and setup a direct path to the folder that you want. When the user logs in, they will have only that folder listed and can't get to the other folders. We do this to limit who can see what on our shared drives. _______________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 11:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Folder access question Ya, but I'm trying to avoid yet another share...
