Hrm.. one more question. I'll try FileACL tonight, but for now I'm just setting permissions on the top level folder and then overriding those permissions on the few folders I need to. Question is... what permission do I need to give users to just see the sub level folders? I see Traverse folder/execute file and List folder/read data which sound pertinent... but I just want to be sure I know the end result of those options?
Currently I'm back to where users can't even see that the top level folder exists, which is not what I'm looking for.... Thanks again peoples... Evan From: Andrew S.

(Folder permissions) Just remove the inheritance on the few folders that you need to setup different permissions on, rather than from the root itself -ASB: http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker Sent from my Motorola Droid On Jun 22, 2011 6:02 PM, "Evan Brastow" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > Amazingly simply question, but I've not done this in so long that I can't > remember. > > I have a folder on my file server (Windows 2008 R2) called Secure. > > Within that folder there are around 50 subfolders.
