Re: Prevent users from movile folders and files

Yes and no, effectively mostly no.

You can set the main folders so that they have List grants on
those, and grants from them of modify for subfolders and files.
That will prevent them from moving those main folders.
However, since they do have read and delete on the content
of those main folders, if they move one of them then the copy
part of the move will happen, the delete of the content part
will happen, but then the final delete of the main folder will
fail, leaving an empty folder.
There is really no perfect solution. If they have delete granted
on something they are going to be able to delete it.

I have a Windows 2003 server with about 50 users. I have a network share
with
multiple subfolders. Periodically someone moves folders into other
folders. I
need these users to be able to create and modify files and folders within
all
folders. I just don't want them to be able to move these around. Is this
possible ? If so how ?
