Damn You, Windows File Permissions! Ahhh, how I forgot about the beauty of Windows file permissions.  This is the time I pine for the more granular file permissions of NetWare.  Windows Server 2003 uses both Share permissions and NTFS permissions.  The former merely governs permissions to the share and the latter governs file and folder permissions.  I want to allow my users to only see the folders they have access to within a given share, but I do not want to to give them access to the folders that they should not see.  Thus, I want a subset of users to have access to a folder below the share, but I still want to allow them to map the share as a drive letter and only see the folder they have rights to.  This is not that complicated in the NetWare world, but Windows is giving me a bear of a problem today.  Stupid non-granular share and NTFS permissions.  Sure, they are better than they were in Windows NT, but not much.  1:33:47 PM    comment []  trackback []
