File sharing in sub-folder.

[brianyip327]

Hi,

I have a question on the shared file.
I have created a shared folder call “project A”, and I set the permission in read only because I don’t want them to create a folder in the first level.
In the second level, I created a sub-folder call “team A” and “team B”, the permission is read/write for them.
The question is they cannot read/write on the sub-folder. Anyway If I set the first level with read/write. Its can write on sub-folder. But they are also can open a new folder in the first level.
What should I do?

That is not how it works.
The shared folder s the ONLY folder you set rights to, and those rights apply to everything in it, including subfolders.
If you want read/write folders, you need to create a seperate Shared folder.

Go to Control Panel, Shared Folder, Edit, Windows ACL,
and Allow Editing Windows Access Control List.

This allows more fine-grained control of permissions.
Note: You need to leave the share permission R/W. In the ACL's, all users must have Administration Read permission. Don't use Deny permissions for layers. You can create multiple permission entries for each user or group -- and you will need to do that to give different permissions to the top level folder.
