Re: Permission to Copy Files to Server Folder But Not Edit Them

Creator owner by default would show when you view the advanced page in
security. If it is not there then you can leave it that way if the user does
not need creator owner permissions dues to the user either already having
needed permissions for his user account or via group membership. --- Steve

Steven,

I follow everything you suggested up to the point where you write : "Then
find creator owner and select select....." I'm not sure where to find
creator owner?

Thanks for your reponse.

It believe it can be done but realize that file creator will be the owner

always
take ownership if need be. However most users will not understand this or
know how to change permissions and you can make it more difficult by
using
Group Policy to remove the security tab from folder/file properties for
users under user configuration\administrative templates\Windows
components\Windows Explorer - hide security tab.

You will need to go into the advanced page on the security page to access
special permissions. The link below explains special permissions.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;308419

Go to the folder and access special permissions. Select add and then find
the user. Select traverse folder/execute file, list folder/read data,
read
attributes, read extended attributes, create files/write data, and read
permissions. Select folder only in the apply onto box and hit OK. Select
add
again for the user and then traverse folder/execute file, list
folder/read
data, read attributes, read extended attributes, and read permissions and
then select files only in the apply onto box and hit OK. Then find
creator
owner and select edit and make sure only traverse folder/execute file,
list
folder/read data, read attributes, read extended attributes, and read
permissions are selected and hit OK. Note that by modifying creator owner
permissions when any user creates a file in the folder that user account
will show up with explicit permissions that match what creator owner
shows
however the user can have greater permissions to folder/files if they are
a
member of a group that has greater permissions than creator owner shows.
The
key to granting special permissions is that a user/group can be listed
multiple times because of the possibilities in the apply onto box. ---

On a Windows 2003 Server I would like a specific user to have
permission
to
add Excel files to a folder on the server from his own workstation, but
not
be able to edit the files, once they are placed into the folder. He
still
needs to be able to open and read the files, once they are in the
folder
on
the server, just not be able to make changes to them.

Can anyone tell me what combination of file permissions in Windows 2003
Server would produce this result. Thanks in advance!
