We have two Net Folders set up in our office that we want all users (12 of them) to have author access to. However only a few of them can post items and it go to everyone. All users have permissions set to 'author'. All users are not selecting 'private' for their items. All users are on the administrators list accurately. Are there any other factors that may be limiting some of the users to get these updates or make updates?? [MS OUTLOOK PROFESSIONAL]

Check the max. allowance of users to that shared folder. And another concideration is weather or not you are using a peer-peer network or a client server network. Microsoft's file and print sharing utility will only alow a min. amount of users to communicate at one time on a peer-peer network. So, the ways to check this(if you are peer to peer)is to verify that the same users cannot access the share, or is it different users on different occations (i.e. sometimes a user can and sometimes that same user cannot access that share). If it is the same person all the time check to ensure that they have file and print sharing enabled in their "network components" dialog box (Right click Network Neiborhood--properties). If it is a different personevery time, you are probably dealing with max. user limitations. If that is the case you will need to concider establishing a server to provide file and printing to the clients as opposed to peer-peer.

Author Access will only allow files to be read and created. Authors will only be allowed to edit files that they personally created.

Confirm that the folder's default permission settings do not conflict with the author settings. Each folder hasits own default setting.
