The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Folder Permissions - should be easy but I am really confused

Asked by Tgilbert in Windows Networking

I have a security group called Users and a group called Bosses

I have a network share called PROJECTS with lots of subfolders,  general permissions are defined at the root level of the PROJECTS folder and are inherited through subfolders.

Within a typical subfolder called PROJECT1 the USERS have the following permissions
Modify - Read & Execute - List Folder Contents - Read - Write
all of these are Checked off.  Full control is not Checked off.

BOSS is a subdirectory of PROJECT1 and the Bosses want this folder to be read-only to the USERS but modifiable to members of BOSSES

Only the Bosses are members of the BOSSES group, but everyone is a member of the USERS group - including the Bosses.

I can't really modify the share permissions as the whole PROJECT is shared not just this subfolder.  So I have to use NTFS permissions

The first thing I would do is go to advanced security for the BOSS folder and disable inheritance and select Copy keeping the original permissions

I would add the BOSSES group to the permissions of the BOSS folder and grant modify or full control.  

But how do I configure it so that the BOSS folder or its contents can be read but not modified by anyone in the USERS group who is not also a member of BOSSES

I can't (and probably should not) use Deny in the USERS permissions as this would deny the BOSSES as well, Deny takes precedent over allow...

This is surely a common request - but I am stumped

I need idiot proof instructions - like check this, uncheck this

TIA - TOMG
