| 870994 | 2010-03-29 21:48:00 | Hi all, I have a manager asking to password protect a folder which is on a network share....unfortunately, all users have read\write access to the root of this share, but now the manager has decided only a few need access to this as it is personal data...Removing existing rights will effect all users on the entire share!! Wish we have Novell, I could place a mask on the folder! I haven't heard of any software or method, but if anyone knows of something, your help would be appreciated... |

| 870995 | 2010-03-29 21:58:00 | Why not just change either the number of users with access as he says, or give him a new share to himself. | pctek (84) | ||
| 870996 | 2010-03-29 22:02:00 | Why not just change the permissions on the folder concerned to allow only the persons selected. Whats the server OS. There is a program called Folder Lock (www.newsoftwares.net) -- may do what you want. |

| 870997 | 2010-03-29 22:19:00 | Sorry if I'm misunderstanding Sol, but why can't you just add a new security group to A/D (is the share on a WinServer?), apply it to the sub folder, and remove inheritable permissions? That should allow all users to the root directory, and restrict access to the sub-directory? |

| 870998 | 2010-03-29 23:04:00 | Ignore the folder lock in post 3 - didn't allow LAN access, only from the actual server. But servers can be set to allow / change permissions on sub folders as nofam mentions. |

| 870999 | 2010-03-29 23:10:00 | Hi guys,I will try removing inherited again, havent been to successful at that in the past as it removed rights all the way to the root..... IMHO, A/D is a cheap NDS! |
