Resource Edition

This extra, monthly edition of Security UPDATE lets you know about
resources and events that can help you keep your security knowledge
and skills up to date and keep your Windows and other systems secure.


=== SECURITY Q&A ===============================================
by Randy Franklin Smith, rsmith@ultimatewindowssecurity.com

Q: Is there a way to let domain clients modify folder and file
permissions on a network share? I want to let users control who can
view or edit specific folders or files in a shared directory without
having to call us to add the permissions.

A: Yes, you can delegate the ability to modify folder permissions on a
file server. First, open the share permissions (located under the Share
tab of the folder's Properties dialog) on the folder in question and
grant Full Control permission to the user group to whom you want to
delegate authority. Then, open the folder permissions (located under
the Security tab of the folder's Properties dialog) and grant Full
Control to the same user group. You have to grant Full Control on the
share and the folder permissions because when you're operating remotely
on a shared folder, Windows lets users perform only actions that are
allowed by both.
