I am not sure if this is the right place to this question. We had set "full control" permission for everyone in our shared folder. But now, we would like to change the permission for everyone to "edit". Questions: 1. What's the difference between "everyone full control" and "everyone edit" ? 2. How to change the permission? 3. What's the impacts of the changing to end users or system? Really appreciate your help. Best regards, Lester Chen

What's the impacts of the changing The impact if that everyone group no longer have Full Control on the folder. Means that you prevent them from deletion of files ...
