Windows 2003 permissions question
I have a client with a Windows 2003 Server R2 with all the latest service packs and updates. They have a shared folder called Data with 2 subfolders which contain scanned documents and a folder for PO's. What I am trying to get set up is for the security group called "Scanned docs security". They want just the people in the secrity graoup to have full access to the data exept for delete priviledge. Now, I have set up the security group so they can work as requested except for the fact that they cannot rename files within the folder. How would I configure the permissions to allow access to the Data folder ONLY by the security group(admins and system have full permissions) and allow them to be able to rename the documents with deleting them? Thanks for the help.Devin

- Go to the NTFS permissions for the "Data" folder - Click the "Advanced" button - For the "Scanned docs security" group, in the "Apply to" column, does it have "This folder, subfolders and files"? Or just "This folder only"?

Hi, As far as I know, Delete permission is required to Rename a file. Therefore, I am afraid that you cannot grant a group Rename permission on an object but disallow it to delete the object. Thanks.
