how do i set up folder permission so that users in certain group can create and edit files, but unable to delete or rename files?
Unfortunately, one of the limitations of the Windows permissions system is that any user can modify (including deleting or renaming) any file they created. The best you can do is to make it difficult to do it accidentally.
Assuming you are using Windows XP professional, you can set permissions on a folder by right-clicking the folder and selecting Properties. Go to the Security tab and press Advanced.
Click Add. Select the group you want to be able to add files and press OK. Under "Apply onto" select "This folder only". Select the tickbox "Create Files / Write Data". Press OK.
Click Add. Select the group you want to be able to edit files and press OK. Under "Apply onto" select "Files only". Select the tickbox "Create Files / Write Data" and "Create Folders / Append Data". You probably also want "Write Attributes" and "Write Extended Attributes". Press OK.
This assumes that the permissions on the parent folder allows the users in question to read files but not write them. If this isn't the case, you may have to turn off "Inherit from parent". Click "Remove". Click "OK" to dismiss the Advanced dialog.
Click Add. Enter Administrators. (You may have to select the local computer from Locations.) Press OK. Select "Full control". Press Apply.
Click Add. Enter the name of the group you want to be able to read files. Press OK. Select "Read & Execute" (this will turn on "List Folder Contents" and "Read" automatically). Press OK.
