NOTE In the following example, in the Active Directory, you have root folder “Department”
with four subfolders: Accounting, Public, RD, and Sales. You want to allow users to
have read/write access to the folders but they are not allowed to create any
subfolders or files under “Department.”
To allow only admin to create and delete the first-level contents of a shared folder:
STEP 1 From the Share Folder window, select the folder name “Department” and click the
Folder Permissions icon.
STEP 2 Select Read/Write access for “everyone” and “domain users” for the root folder
“Department” on the folder permissions table.
STEP 3 Set the folder owner to admin.
STEP 4 Check the check box Only owner can delete the content so that only the admin
can delete the subfolders (Accounting, Public, RD, and Sales).
STEP 5 Check the check box Only admin can create files and folders so that only admin
can create new subfolders within “Department” folder.
STEP 6 Specify whether or not you want to Apply changes to files and subfolders and
Apply and replace all existing permissions of this folder, files, and subfolders.
If not, you might need to specify the subfolders permissions one by one.
STEP 7 Click Apply to save the settings.
NOTE In the following example, you have a domain user called “ADTEST2\backupadm”
who needs admin access rights to a NAS shared folder in order to perform data
backup using a particular software via Microsoft Networking.
To allow particular users to be exempt from folder permissions and grant these
users “admin” access only for Microsoft Networking access:
STEP 1 From the Share Folder window, select the shared folder and click the Folder
Permissions icon.
STEP 2 Specify to grant “Read only” access to everyone.
STEP 3 Click “+” to locate the domain user “ADTEST2+backupadm” and grant the user
Read/Write access to the folder.
