Folder Security/Permissions

[Guest]

I know this question must have been ask a million times.
I am new to this site and would like to know the best practise for setting
permissions on folders.

I will create a folder called Test (sample) and below would like to create
sub folders
test1, test2, test3 ect....

I want different departments acessing the different sub folders.

Do i set the permissions for everyone on the main folder (test) and then
share the subfolders?

I would also like to hide the folders from all other users if possible.

no, share the parent and apply permissions to the directories below it. Give
everyone read access to 'this folder only', and then give the correct
permissions to the sub directories that each department has.

You can hide the files that people don't have access too if you're running
2003 sp1.
