I need help with file permissions

by amaloney . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

I have a problem with folders on a file server. We have several files on a server that we need to stay in the folders they are currently in. The problem is due to permission the users can cut and paste the files into other folders. This causes all kinds of mayhem when a manager looks for a file that someone has moved to another folder. I do not want the users to be able to move files form one folder to another. I need to give users rights to open a document and modify the document, or create new files in a folder. However I do not want them to be able to move the files or documents to another folder at all.

So can I do this with NTFS permissions? If not is there a third party application that will let me assign those types of permissions.
