Advanced permission for files and folders
Advanced permission for files and folders

Hi,

Just wanted to raise a quick query on setting a unique NTFS Security permission.

My requirement

A shared folder with the below listed access for users

A group of users should be able to create, read, rename files and folders inside a shared folder.
The group of users should not have the right to delete any folder or file from the shared folder.
This is what I have tried. 

Gave modify permission to the Security group.
On Advanced permissions, denied delete subfolders and file & delete permission.
The effective permission for a user who is member of the security group over a file inside the shared folder is as shown.

But while trying to rename or modify the file, getting the below error message.

Any help to achieve my requirement would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi JD,

Removing delete permission from the user or group brings a limitation that the user will not be able to rename the folder. This is because of the reason that the "rename" operation is also included within the "Delete" permission.

Thus if you want to prevent user from deleting the shared file, it's also not allowed to rename.
