Assigning permissions

check the tabular column here

well it depends on where you use the permission but the table gives you an idea what Write can do and what modify can do

Hi, sunray_2003,

Nice to see you.

The link does not work..  :(

So, if users are allowed to add/edit tables, I should check both, right?  Thx

Oh, I forgot to mention that this is the web folder I am talking about.....

you mean you have a web server running in your machine and want to assign properties.

If you want people to write into a file or even create  file , give write permissions.

modify will give them more priveleges and if you dont want , dont give .

Also you see that by modify permissions the files listed under that folder will be displayed. Assuming you have a folder and you dont want to web browser to list the files inside it .. Giving modify will do that so you need to check what you need

what I would advise is first set the permissions and later login as an user and see what they would see to be sure that you have done the right thing

But in IIS, I unchecked "folder browing"..........

mcrmg,

Then it should not list provided you had done it correctly.. check logging in as user in a different machine

Also have you tried modify and write permissions to folders ?

Currently, I check both to the folder because users will have abaility to add/edit DB.  I do not know if this the right way.  Thanks.

I would guess you can deny all permissions to an user except writing to a database.. giivng add permission will make them add a new database which i would guess you donot want

right-click the folder and go to permissions and there are options to deny permissions as well.
