Re: Granting Users Ownership Permissions



The owner can not only change permissions but can delete and write to a
folder and subfolders that he is an owner of if that is a concern once he
has granted himself the necessary permissions which can be full control.
Having said that for trusted and competent users that may be perfectly fine
in your situation. Anyone with write permissions or the user right to
restore files and directories can restore files.

We use Windows Server 2003. Would it be advisable to grant trusted users
the
ownership permission on a network share? What implications woudl this
have
aside from the users being able to modify permissions? Does this have any
impact on restoring files, etc?

We have users that are assigned the task of making sure that certain
folders
are "clean" and contain the contents that they are suppose to, and mgmt
likes
the idea of users being able to view the "owner" of the folders so that
they
can see who the "librarian" is, so that they can request changes to the
folders that the librarian is in charge of.

Thanks,
Longer
