It looks like you pretty much did what I suggested with two different groups
though I believe I misunderstood your original post thinking that you wanted
to let users create/modify folders but not files for whatever reason. You
will find that you have great flexibility with advanced permissions and I
usually try to accomplish a configuration without using deny permissions
which tend to complicate things, particularly since an explicit allow
overrides an inherited deny. --- Steve
