Greetings,
NTFS permission can be a headache @ times and that’s exactly what i am going through right now.
Here is the situation i am facing: We running windows server 2003 in our domain with a file server where we have a shared folder called All Employees and each user or employee has his own folder inside this All Employees folders. What we want is that every user can gain access to the All Employee??s folder but should not access another user??s folder.
So what i did was to assign List Folder Content permission to the Domain users group for the root folder in this case the All Employees, since all the Domain users are part of the Domain Users Security Group. This worked just fine, but the problem is that the permission i assigned to the parent folder (All Employees) is propagating through to all child folders enabling all users traversing to another user??s folder, even though they cannot open the files but they can see what is in other employees folders. Our aim is to restrict users from accessing a fellow employee??s folder after they gained access to the root folder (All Employees) the respective user should only be able to access his folder. By the way we have over 250 users.
