Title: How to protect directories within an ibay?
Post by: chris burnat on May 03, 2006, 02:12:35 PM

I have created an ibay accessible to all users over the local network.  In this ibay, I wish to have one top directory called "Monday".  Under this directory, I wish to create 24 subdirectories named 1, 2, 3, [...] 23. 24.

The users should be allowed to create/delete/read files in each of the 24 directories.  They should also be allowed to create sub-directories under any of the 24 directories.  However, they should be prevented from deleting, moving or altering the names of the top directory (Monday) and its 24 sub-directories { 1, 2, 3 .... 23, 24).

The server is Vs7, the users are on Windows 2000 or WINXP workstations.

Help would be very appreciated, I am beat.. Can this be done?   How?

Have you tried putting your Users into a Group?
Launch the Monday iBay as fully available to the Group.
Then close Monday's perms to owner/admin (not Group).
Does that not work for you... Ah, I see your problem;~)
Do it with a blog (ie WordPress).
Blog = Monday.
24 threads - all can be commented (ie read/appended)
Thread starters cannot be amended (user/author perms)
