Re: Modify rights to single file in a directory with only list permiss



The problem is not with what you have set for permissions, but with
how the application the person uses is handling things.
If you define a folder X and grant AcctsA List on the folder,
and have a file X\file.ext and it has a grant of Modify for AcctsA,
then for example, one of the AcctsA can open file.ext in notepad,
change it, and save it. No problem.
By comparison, Word would want to open a temp file in the same
directory and upon save rename this.
You could provide for that by a grant to AcctsA and another of at
least Modify to Creator Owner, but then they would be able to
save other files into the directory (and hence have access to more
than just the one file.
In short, this illustrates that it is more direct to isolate files needing
different permissions into separate folders.

We have a situation in which a user is only permitted to read and modify a
single file in a directory on a Win2K server. Mgt doesn't want them to
see
any of the other files in that directory. I granted the user list
permissions to the folder and full rights to the file in question, but
when
she tries to save she gets the message "The save failed due to out of
memory
or disk space. <path\file>"
I granted write permissions to the folder and it still fails. Only
granting
modify (and the associated "read") allow her to save. Shouldn't the
aforementioned method work without granting these extra rights to the
folder?
Thanx!
