- Read Only folder settings 2003 server std R2
- Posted by Leo on March 18th, 2008
I am not able to remove the read-only settings for folders created under the
d: partition. I am trying to create a shared folder in which network users
can create and share documents. However, network users are not able to save
into the sahred folder even though I have given full access to 'Everyone', or
even if I give full access to a specific user. I have tried modifying the
registry and using the attrib command and the read-only setting still has not
changed. Please provide assistance as to how to remove the read-only access.

The shares permissions really don't do much with NTFS volumes because you
can give people every permission under the sun, but unless they have the
NTFS permissions to do anything, they can't.

I would assume that you removed the went into advanced settings of the Security
tab and removed the check mark next to "Allow Inheritable Permissions from
the parent to propagage..."? I've been using R2 and have not come across
this problem at all. Someone once recommended that when creating shares
(for the simplest configuration), Add the Everyone group to the Share permissions
with full access, then go into the Security tab to set the NTFS permissions
to those groups that need access. Just make sure you turn off the Inheritance
from the parent folder.

Hello Leo,
On the share you have to set the share permission for authenticated users
to Full control and then configure the Fodler permissions for your users/groups.

The default Share permissions in Windows Server 2003 is Everyone - Read
(only) - this is set when the Share is created. If you want users to be
able to modify things via the Share you have to change the Share Permissions
from Read to Change.
The resulting permissions for a user are the more restrictive of the Share
and NTFS permissions.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Hi,
Have you checked your Share Permissions? In Windows 2003 Server, ALL new
shares are automatically created with Everyone=Read SHARE permissions. What
this does is make everyone read regardless of NTFS permissions as it is the
most restrictive of the two combined.
Go to the Share tab on the folder and click Permissions and see what the
share permissions are.
Cheers,
Lara
