Users can delete their own files from a public network share...

[ceez]

Hey there fellow msfn'ers!

we have a network share at work called 'common'. The problem I am having is that the users tell me that they cannot delete the files they copy in this share. What permission should I give it?

Under share permissions I have all the Domain Users as well as the Everyone group wth ALLOW checked on Full Control, Change & Read

Under the Security tab I have:

Admin Group (Domain\Admin Group): full control

CREATOR OWNER : none

SYSTEM : full controll

Administrators (Local machine\administrator) : full

Users (local machine\users) : Read & Execute : List Folder Contents : Read

What permission do i set so they can delete their own files that they place anywhere within this share?

thanks for your help and time,

ceez

CREATOR OWNER: Modify, Subfolders and files only

There's a type called CREATOR OWNER that should be given FULL permission, as you want the owner, but not any user, to manipulate their own files.

thanks for the reply, but would this be under the sharing tab or under the security tab?

thanks again,

Generally, I like to set the share permissions as open as possible (everyone / full control, if I can) and tighten things down at the security (ntfs) level.
