Creating a shared dir with AD without having to grant Full Control

by sam.robertson . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

Hey gang,

Im a newb when it comes to active directory.Need some insight on an issue im having when trying to create the following:

Shared dir for HR
Creating a group for access to the HR Dir

Im running a Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition box…

I need to create a shared dir for the HR group which for obvious reasons needs to be restricted. I have created a Folder on the network called Shared and then within that folder I have created the folder HR. I have shared them both and have left them with the defaulted “everyone” group.

So now I have my “SHARE” on my network with the HR sub directory within it. (I do plan on creating more departmental dir in the future (eg.Finance, Executive..etc…)

I have added the appropriate users to the HR dir but when the user tries to save a file the user gets a restricted access error. So now the only way that i can make it work is if I grant the “everyone group” full control to the “shared dir”.

I have worked on this for to many hours now and as im self tought, i have become rather annoyed with myself for not being able to figure this out.

Can somebody, anybody please help me out?

Id greatly apreciate it.

Cheers
