Hi all,

I have quick question..

I have a folder on our file server. It is a subfolder of another folder.

When i assign a user permissions to it, after about 10 mins the permissions that i had assigned get taken away.... This folder is inheriting permissions from the top folder.

Is there any way I can give this user permissions to the sub folder and not to the top folder (without turning folder inheritance of?)

Thanks in advance,

Paul M

on the subfolder, right click and go to sharing and security. on the security tab add the user and give him full control.

click on advanced next, click on the user and go to edit.

on "Apply onto" check Subfolders and files only.

then check full control

click on the "Owner" tab next and make the user owner of that folder.
