Permissions

Heya,

Permissions question.

Say i wanted to make a specific share where a group "alpha" had the following rights:

able to create folders and files
able to delete ONLY self-created folders, files (Creator Owner)
unable to delete folders files that are not self-created.

So i created the following security groups:

- Alpha (This folder and subfolders and files)
allow everything but "Delete" and "Delete subfolders and files"
- Creator owner: Full control


Now that works great, by testing a text file creation, deletion, aappending, overwriting data.
But when i take a program say AutoCAD and open a file i am not the owner of and try to save changes to it, it wont let me. It would only let me if i add "Delete" trigger for Alpha which makes the entire permissions thing irrelevant and it is pretty much "Full control".

Any ideas?

Thanks

    Just try "Modify" for Alpha and "Full" for Owner/Creator.
    Like Mishra siad also check your share permissions, which should be Alpha "Full Control".
    All things are possible, only believe.

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for your reply!

    Share permissions are:
    Alpha - full control

    I just found out that i think it is an AutoCAD issue only. I could only assume that it deletes/recreates the file to which changes are saved into.
    I was able to save changes to non self-created files using Microsoft Word, Excel and plain txt.
    I suppose then the permissions work as designed.

    Weird issue. Makes me wonder what the hell AutoCAD does when you save changes to its files.

    Thanks a ton!
