I have some users 12 for a folder on a shared drive on the network. Using Windows Server 2003. The users have lost their permission to view documents in the folder. I have tried reenabling Full Control on the folder itself. But to no avail, is there a way to restore the permissions? Also the permissions under the Advanced tab indicate (not inherited> How do I restore that to Parent?

on the file(s) themselves were changed, and the folder
permissions are intact.
when setting permissions, you should be able to (advanced
button) place a checkmark in 'Inherit from parent' and click
'apply' to set all of the permissions.
Another option, if it is all screwy is to remove the share
completely and re-create it.

you can take ownership of the folder[s] the files are in. Then set appropriate permissions.

Though it does sound like sharing permissions were changed, I'd still say take ownership....of the parent folder reset permissions.

If it's not documented, ha ha could mess with permissions for quite some time trying to figure out what's what.

Start over...

1)Take ownership of the folder.
2)Reset file system permissions to what you want them to be.
3)Check the SHARE permissions (on the sharing tab of the folder or in computer management mmc) Each user should have permissions OR give the everyone group full permissions. The file system permissions will still be in effect.
