Hi Everyone

I need some guidance getting a Drive Share setup so that all the users can see the root share, but only access “some” folders. ie: I need to share the entire drive but only users in respective departments can access that folder, 1_admin, 2_finance, 3_stores etc.

currently everyone has access everywhere, and where access needs to be limited everyone was added name by name to the deny list…

Thanks

Charl

Hi

If you have domain setup and all the users are logging in to the domain. Then your job is simple.

On root directory on sharing and security-- provide Authenticated users Full access

On each directory under the root folder on security tab remove authenticated users and give permission only the users which ever the writable permission needed. Better way is create a group with members and add appropriate groups to the each folders in security tab and provide full rights Also add administrator to take backup

Give read and List folder contents to the root folder,turn off inheritance for subfolders,then add specific permission for department folders using “Security Groups” in AD to grant permissions to Write/Modify/List Contents/Read & Execute
