Folders and Permissions

[Taz73]

I am having a vapor lock (not enough coffee) and want to make sure of
what I am doing will work before I do something dumb. Here is my
issue;

1. I have created a folder I will call team folder and created a group
in AD called team1.
2. I have added the team1 group to the folder with modify permissions
and the team members can read and write to the folder.
3. I want to restrict access to everyone but team1. If I remove the
everyone group will that work or will it completely block access even
to team1?

I should know this!

Make sure you only remove access, not Deny it to the Everyone group.

It will work, but watch two points:

Always include Adminstrator(s) with full rights, or you may have problems
deleting the folder when it's finished-with.

If files are dragged into the folder from outside, they will NOT be
restricted to the specified group, but will retain whatever rights they had
when they were created. It's easy to get into a security faux-pas this way if
someone copies-in a file to use as a template.

If you want it to work the way it intuitively ought to, then create a share
and assign rights to that share instead of to the folder.
