[itdiscuss] prevent users from saving to the root of a shared drive

[Dan Barber]

Well,
In my case the root is shared by everyone...underneath the root is their individual folders as well as department folders...everything, at least at the root level, should be placed under the appropriate folder...there is not reason for any file not to be in a folder.

I may be dense and/or ill-informed but... Why should I not want users to save to the root of a shared drive?

As with most of us, I want to prevent my users from saving to a root of a shared drive. I thought I had this by setting the root to Read/Execute permissions, but users are still able to save...do I need to explicitly deny them save access in order to accomplish my goal? Don't worry, all of the subfolders are not inheriting permissions. So the tree looks as follows:


*         Root                                      R,X

o   Folder 1               Full

o   Folder 2               Full

o   Etc.                         Group-Specific, etc.
