Hiding shred folders (Help, please)

[Guest]

A little help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I have a Novell share which is migrating to 2003 as soon as I can remedy
this issue. I'm drawing a blank.

Currently under the 'SHARED' folder there are 35 directories each with
different levels of group access.

ie:
Group1 has access to 2 of the 35 folders
(the others are NOT visible).
Group2 has access to 5 of the 35 folers.
(the others are NOT visible).
etc.

I want to mimic this on the 2003 side.

I've shared the folder. The users S: Drive maps to this shared folder. But
I can't seem to hide certain directories. The user either sees them all or
none.

This will be too confusing for many of the users here (older population).

Is there a way to make it so users see only the directories that they have
access to under the shared folder?

Thanks in advance..

Windows is different, and this is a common frustration for people migrating
from NetWare (it was for me, too, along with the loss of Salvage). Users
will see all subfolders under a folder that they have rights to see. Control
access with NTFS permissions, or set up your shares/folders so that you have
a parent folder and each shared folder that requires separate
permissions/'viewability' is a separate share. You can hide shares by
sharing them as FOLDER$ (the dollar sign makes the share a hidden one).

folders just like you want. Gold release by end of Q4. if you're interested
