Server 2008 Share Permissions whats the point?

[pollardhimself]

What I was trying to do is give a group permission to set folder permissions. However when the access the share with \\server\folder they cannot. They have the correct NTFS permissions but the share permissions prevent that why whats the point?

share permissions are needed in order to view the share from the network. if your users already know the path directly to the folder they need and map it, i.e. group1 has ntfs permissions to \\server\folder and they map a network drive to it, or unc into the folder, then they don't need share permissions. however, that is rare. most people try to browse to the resource they need, hence why share permissions are important.

give the group share permissions to the folder as well. it's not too hard, and saves you the headache of people bitching at you because they can't browse/view that share.

So there's no way to give anyone permission to change the folder permissions via \\server\folder


User has the correct NTFS premissions
User is in the engineering group
Drive is mapped
Server ntfs permissions on right
