Unless Im missing something [or just plain stupid], I cant figure out why I keep getting access denied errors for what Im trying to do.
Heres the scenario…
User1 is a member of notourdomain.com but has been setup with a vpn client that connects to our internal server called \\Fileserver under the account Fileserver\User1.
1. User1 wants to use folder “B” which is a subfolder of folder “A”.
2. Folder “A” contains subfolders that we do not want User1 to view or access, other than folder “B” of course..
3. In the Security tab of folder “A”, I have denied the following permissions for User1:
Modify
Read & Execute
List folder contents
Read
Write
4. In the security tab of folder “B”, I have allowed the following permissions for User1:
Modify
Read & Execute
List folder contents
Read
Write
5. I have also unchecked the “Allow inheritable from the parent to propogate this object and all child objects” options.
So, from User1’s workstation, I have mapped a network drive to \\Fileserver\A\B using the “connect as a different user” option with the credentials Fileserver\User1. When User1 tries to add a new item to the “B” folder, they get an “Access is denied error”. I have viewed the effective permissions tab for folder “B” and it says that “User1” has write permissions. What am I missing?
