[Guest]

Hi All,

I have faced strange problem in my file server(Windows 2000 Ent.Server)
while giving permission.see below for details.

A: My requirement:
I have to give permission to folder named Maketing for two users named John
& Steve.

a.The user can do:
1.Create files & folder also they can change file contents stored in the
Marketing folder and sub folders.
2.They should not rename or delete the files and folders stored in the
Marketing folder.

B: What i did:
I gave Read,Execute & Write permission to John & Steve for the Marketing
folder.

C: Observed after giving the above Permission:
1.Both user able create a file and folders in Marketing folder.
2.Both can able to change and modify the contents of BMP and Textpad files.
3.User John able to change the contents in the MSword and Excel files,but
each chaging of contents one temprovary file is creating in the folder.
4.User Steve not able change contens in MSword and Excel files,saying that
file permission error.

So any body please let me know which type of permission will fullfill my
requirement.

Thanks in advance

Ok...it looks like you have a problem with Office files. Is Steve trying to
modify a file that is already open by John?

I suggest you take a look at the following:

Hi Pickle,

Steve and john is not a member of any group also there no inheritance
propagated from parent objects iam sure about that.

Verify that user Steve doesn't have a group membership that would deny the
access rights you want to give him. I guess you know that the most
restrictive permission on a file/folder wins over any other permissions given
to the user/group. Also check for inheritance propagated from parent objects
that could also be the source of your problem.
