You have "ntfs" permissions configured on the sub folders to give specific groups
access and users not in any of those groups can access/write/and delete to those
folders?? I have never seen that before. Be sure to check advanced permissions also
for those folders for group permissions. In addition make sure that on the root/drive
folder that users/everyone has no more that read/list/execute permissions. If you
still can not get it to work try using three separate top level folders - one for
each group you want to access. Make sure you are not testing access with existing
user files because if creator owner is present in ntfs permissions, the user will be
assigned creator owner permissions to the file if they are the owner of the file as
shown in security/advanced - owner, even if they have no other permissions to the
folder. --- Steve
