Delete Permission

[tagwar]

Hi expert people

I have question and i am trust in every one experience

Simply I have share folder on windows 2003 standard edition

And I want to restrict users from deleting files from this share folder

The server is ruining as all in one server DHCP Domain Controller File server and exchange also.

Also how to configure synchronization for this share folder

By the meaning of,

I have the main folder and I want all the data inside this folder to be synchronized to another folder but the second folder not to be shared

Some kind of back

Or more simply hoe to make shadow copy from this share folder to another HD in the same server

Like D drive and E Drive.

I hope to find the answer at your end.

Thanks in advance

The ability to delete files falls in with the "Modify" permission. So, simply don't tick the "Modify" box.

Modify permission is unchecked

and still able to delete files

plz note that it was unchecked before I mean it's note matter of time to make the change take effect

Moreover

In advanced option of the share folder I check the box of Deny Delete and it was working fine

But also it prevents the user form renaming the folder or does any changes to it so it was not much helping

I want the user to add and modify folders but not to move or to delete

Then you need to go under advanced. "Change" permission implies just that - click that "Advanced" button for more granular control. You're probably looking to allow the list, read, and write permissions but not allow delete. Also note though, that if you remove the delete permission from a share a user may open a document from in Microsoft Office, the user will not be able to save the changes to the document (Office creates a temporary file the user writes to, usually with the name "~<whatever the file name is>", and when it goes to actually save a document or changes to it, it deletes the ~ file and commits them to the actual document. However, the document delete will fail, and the save will likely fail also. If it works, you'll have a ~<filename> file left behind, for every document open, not just edit - opening the document by itself creates this file).

If you don't use Office or don't allow Office docs in this share, it won't be an issue. Just a heads-up.

Be wary of ticking any "Deny" boxes, it's probably safer to simply not tick any box for a particular permission rather than Deny.

[cluberti]

True - deny permissions are processed before any allow permissions, and thus take precedence. Don't "deny" unless you actually mean to deny.

Then some permission is still allowing the user to delete. Whom is the user (for example) you are having this problem with, and can you provide a screenshot of the "advanced" button output for that folder?

here we go

i made group and all this group should have the same permission

i made also test account as normal user but still have the same problem

[cluberti]

First, remove the "Users" group, as they have more rights than the group you appear to try to be locking down. Next, show us the Advanced output, including the full list of permissions for that group. Click Edit, then Advanced.

no update????

Honestly, I totally missed this - I went away for a few days, and it got buried off of the first page. Sorry 'bout that. As far as I can tell, those permissions should keep a user in that group from deleting anything unless he/she is a member of another group that has more permissions.

I generally create a share by setting up NTFS permissions on the share as I need to, then I create the actual share with the permissions set to "Everyone / Full Access" - since the lowest permission level between NTFS and Share permissions take precedence, only people with NTFS access rights can do anything on the share and I don't have to worry that restrictive share permissions could be causing any access problems I have.

As to what you are doing there, the only way a user should be able to delete now is if they're also in another of those groups that has the right. It looks good from what I can see. You might want to kill the CREATOR OWNER permissions though, as it allows a higher level of permissions for the user that created a file in the share than what you want them to have.

[tagwar]

I really don't know where the mistake is

Ok no problem

Let’s start from the beginning

I want to create new shared folder with no delete permission.

Only domain admin can do this delta

Please give me the guide or the steps how to do this starting from the hard disk NTFS permission and inherent this to the shared folder

I hope to get answer soon

Appreciate every response in advance

Any update????
