Just the folder you're uploading to.

Here's likely your issue. The group "Users" doesn't include the
anonymous web account, the IUSR account. If your users are
authenticating to the system, their authenticated accounts are used,
otherwise it's the IUSR/IWAM accounts that come into play. set
appropriate rights for the appropriate accounts.
