how to make a public folder read only to everyone but full control to certain users
We have a drive in one of our server that is shared and we call it Public Folder where in all users can share their data to everyone that needed it. Unfortunately, due to everyone having full control there are some folders (ex. estimating)in Public Folder that everyone can have read only permissions and only certain users can have full control of that folder.
How can I restrict everyone to have full control and give certain users full control to a particular folder that is in our Public Folder?
Please help, I tried to share that folder, gave everyone read only and certain user a full control but it did not work. Please help me how to accomplish this task. Please give me detail instructions of to do this.

Permissions always apply the most restrictive policy. You need to set up seperate groups that have real only and full access. Also make sure subdirectories are inheriting permissions like you want.
Your problem is that the "Estimating" folder is inheriting permissions from the main Public folder.
To fix this, right-click on the Estimating folder, click on "Properties", then "Security" then "Advanced", and un-check the box that reads "inherit from parent..." and click "Copy" in the next dialog.
After that you'll be able to manipulate permissions on the "Estimating" folder separately from the main folder.
If you have lots of users then do create groups as suggested above, it will simplify the job. If you have few users then you can assign permissions for usernames directly.
