In a "Full Control" folder, deny "rename & delete" on some specific subfolders

Hi,

I have a folder 'Clients' where users can create & delete files and folders as they want.
I allowed the groups of users Read, Read&Execute, Modify & Write Permission.

I want to create in this folder a subfolder 'Invoices'.
Where the users can't rename or delete the 'Invoices' subfolder (other subfolders can be renamed or deleted by users).
Where the users are allowed to create, delete files & folders in the Invoices subfolder

Thanks for helping me

    To do this you'll need to turn off inheritance on that one folder, and set a series of rights. This is all done under the 'advanced' tab for permissions, or from the command-line if you'd rather. Unfortunately, the commands change between WinXP and Vista/Win7.

    If you want to just allow creating/deleting files in the Invoices sub-folder, but not modifying anything, and prevent delete/rename of the Invoices folder...

    On the Invoices folder:

    • Block inheritance from parent folder
    • Set to "This object, sub-folders and files" (the default)
      • Traverse Folder / Execute File
      • List Folder / Read Data
      • Read Attributes
      • Read Extended Attributes
      • Read Permissions
    • Set to "Sub-Folders and Files Only"
      • Delete
      • Write Attributes
    • Set to "Sub-folders only"
      • Create Files / Write Data
      • Create Folders / Append Data

    Change the Creater/Owner rights on Invoices (this will prevent owners of created files from changing things they shouldn't)

    • Traverse Folder / Execute File
    • List Folder / Read Data
    • Read Attributes
    • Read Extended Attributes
    • Read Permissions
    • Delete

    Yes, this is complex, but it should do what you want.

    : Waw! I'll test this monday and tell you the result. Thanks a lot
