    Hi David Schenz,

        Thanks for your help.

       All the user1, user2 & user3 are not admin and the
    folder are not
    inheriting permissions but the files in the folder are
    inheriting the
    permissions from the folder.

       In your explaination you do mention that user3 can
    delete the data
    folder because it had FC. If user3 only want to delete
    the folder and
    the files that he own in the data folder then what
    permission should
    be given to user3 ? Or can these be done via special
    permissions ?
    If not what is the best solution ? According to my
    admin, user3 can
    only be given add & read in data folder. Is it true ?
    For your info all
    the 3 user are from 3 different group membership.

    All help r welcome.

    Cheers.
