Office applications use temp files
Not having delete means that the account running the Office
application is unable to clean up after itself.

Consider using a grant of Full to Creator Owner so that accounts
will have the needed permissions on files (these temps) that they
have created.


Many thanks for your suggestion. Office not being able to delete its
own temp files does make sense. The question now is how do I
correctly configure permissions so that the temp files can be deleted
but not the original Excel file. I am assuming it's possible - I
can't be the first person wanting to do this.

I tried your suggestion of giving Creator Owner full control, but when
applying the changes the actual user who created the file is added to
the permissions list. What I need is to be able to specify the
"Creator Owner" of the temp file - i.e. the person who opened the
spread***.

Can this be done?


Without doing programming, use of Creator Owner is about a close
as you will get, meaning that the account that owns a file (including
the temps) will have the elevated grant over it. You may feel better
with Creator Owner Modify rather than Full.
