Restricting users to add/create folders in a network drive

by jmerrea . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

Im having problems with setting up the restrictions to deny users from creating folders on a network drive. What I just do is:

1)Right click the network drive, then Properties.
2)Go to Security tab then add some users
3)And for the restricted users, I edit their restrictions under the Advanced button and edit the permissions.
4)I tried to Allow all the Permissions except the “Create Folders / Append Data” which is Deny

Then after that I try to log in to that restricted user and try to create a folder. Creating a folder is restricted but the problem is the user can not modify the files under those folders. I tried to modify a text file under that folder and save the file but it also restrict me to save the changes I made.

What I only want is to restrict the user from creating a folder from that network drive but “Not” restricted to modify those files under it. Is this possible. I hope someone would try and see it and help to figure it out.

Thank you so much! ^_^
