With Pro if you uncheck the Simple sharing box at the
bottom of the View tab in the Folder Options, then the
Security dialog will be available on every object in the
NTFS filesystem (in their Properties, r-click).
Now, if you grant Users modify at the directory that
roots the area where you want them to have this ability
it will be inherited on down in so far as some subdir
does not block inheritance.
Note that you do not want to do this with directories
that are installed as part of the system.
