Hello.
I have a folder (FolderA). What permissions do I need to set on it so that Domain Users can create and edit files in the folder, but not create subfolders? Domain Admins will obviously have full access to do whatever they like.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

X2 ! If you select a deny on the root folder that are you assigning permissions to and select the domain user group, either uncheck that or just deny that permission (this folder, subfolders and files) then it should work. I just tested it out on my system and it gave the result you were looking for.
Hello,
I now have:
Domain Admins - Full Control
Domain Users - Special. Create Files / Writes Data - Allow. Create Folders / Append Data - Deny. Delete Subfolders and Files - Allow. Nothing else.
This sort of works as expected as in a domain user can create new files, but not new folders. However they cannot edit any of the new files that they put in that folder. E.g they can right click and create a new text document for examples, but if they then double click it and try to save it into the folder they get permission denied.
Thanks for the help!

Try:
File and folder special permissions
- Create Files/Write Data
- Create Folders/Append Data
- Delete Subfolders and Files
Create Folders/Append Data
The Create Folders permission applies only to folders and allows or denies the user from creating folders in the folder.
Create Folders/Append Data
The Create Folders permission applies only to folders and allows or denies the user from creating folders in the folder.
The Append Data permission applies only to files and allows or denies the user from making changes to the end of the file but not from changing, deleting, or overwriting existing data .
Delete Subfolders and Files
The Delete Subfolders and Files permission applies only to folders and allows or denies the user from deleting subfolders and files, even if the Delete permission is not granted on the subfolder or file.
