Microsoft Best Practices for Share permissions on a Windows Server 2000/2003.

Help!

I have searched and not come up with an "official" resource for the MS Best Practice for file shares and the appropriate permissions.

I am looking for a link to a Microsoft web resource on best practices for setting up file shares and folder permissions.

The scenario is:

A small office has a single File and Print server.
Three user types:
1) Supervisors - create forms and templates for everyone to use in their job functions. They use these forms as well.

2) Users - should be able to open a form, enter data, and then save it to Projects folder under the appropriate job folder.

3) Clients-are able to login to the domain with an account named "client" to go through hands on tutorials, practice how to use a computer in a one on one environment, etc..

Do you have a Novell or Microsoft network? There is no Supervisor in MS only in Novell. If you have a MS network you have the option of setting restrictions on the share or on the folder. Personally I set authenticated users full access on the share and then I decide on the folder level what NTFS rights every group of users should have. What I always do is to remove the everyone group from the folders and replace it with either a specific group or authenticated users. The thing is to choose one way of setting rights and usually you are to restricted in options with the share permissons so it is easier to go with the NTFS permissions.
