I'm trying to setup permissions in such a way to grant users access to
read/write/modify but not delete contents in a folder. I've tried different
combinations of permissions and even tried special permissions with no
success. I've tried granting modify permissions and adjusted the special
permission to deny delete, this causes the users to get a "This file is on a
network drive with create but no modify privileges, ask an administrator to
change this condition" error when saving to a network drive. It actually
does save the file but it's empty and it also creates a .tmp file.

Any suggestions to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marlon

Marlon-

As long as you are allowing modify, you are allowing delete. For instance,
let's talk about blah.doc (a Word document). If the user can't hit the
delete key to get rid of it... he can instead open it, select all, delete
the selected text, then save it. The user has effectively deleted it.

If you give additional information about your setup and the goals you are
trying to achieve, I might be able to offer up some suggestions...

BS,

This is in a school environment where it is desired to setup group shares
where users can save documents to but not delete these. The users should be
able to modify existing docs in these shares but not delete.

After reading your message below I don't think this result is possible, do
you have any recommendations that would come close to this desired outcome?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Marlon
