Folder permissions

amyamandaallen

Hi,

Could someone refresh my memory please|

I have a folder and deep down within that folder is another is another folder that needs to be shared out to just 1 user. Now normally I would just create a new share and publish it out to that user. However we are are trying to cut down on the amount of shares on our server. I can remember something like traversing folder as a way to drill down through top level/upper level folders that they dont have access too. But I couldnt really get it too work. Any help available please?

Cheers

Amy

Set the folder permissions (under special permissions) to List Folder/Read Data and Traverse Folder / Execute File (since it's a folder we're dealing with the Read and Execute permissions won't apply). If you have Bypass Traverse Checking enabled for those users on the server policy then you should only need to set List folder. Do this at the first point of access and let it inherit down, then break inheritance on the first folder where you want to give that user more access and apply the new fuller permissions.
