Set the share permissions to Full control for Everyone and forget about them; do the rest with NTFS.<br />
Assuming that &quot;all others&quot; already have only read-only permissions, and you only want to add the &quot;one person&quot;, a simple cacls command will do. Open a command prompt, cd into the root folder where the folder to be changed is located and enter<br />
cacls /t /e /g YourDomain\TheUser:C<br />
/t will process subfolders, /e will edit the ACLs (instead of replacing), /g ... grants the TheUser Change permissions.<br />
Note that you should only give permissions to single user accounts when you have really good reasons to do so (home folders, for example). For everything else, use groups.<br />

I suppose there is a first time for everthing, but this I'll bet is not one of those....namely for a quick 500, who can tell me the easiest way to modify share/security permissions to a folder allowing one person the right to modify files located within that folder, whilst maintaining read only ability for all others? Huh, huh, come on, I'm waiting!!!:)<br />

Restrict file permissions in windows 2003

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
