User gets access denied when trying to access share

I have created a share on my 2003 SBS server. I created a security group and added a few people to the group. For sharing permissions, I gave the group full permissions. For security permissions, I gave the group full control.

When a user who is a member of the group tries to add a file to the share, they get an access denied message. I cannot figure out what I did wrong.

Have you added the group into sharing>>Permission area?

Yes I did, as I said in the question, for sharing permissions I gave the group full control, and full control for security permission.

Is this the same for all users in the group, or just one? Is the share a root folder or is it within another folder, if it is in another folder, check the permissions on the parent folder.

At first it was within another folder, and I did check the permissions on the folder above, but then I created a new folder off of the root of C. It is C:\Share. The user has no permissions to the root of the C drive. I gave the group full sharing and security permissions to C:\Share (which I shared and called it share). I do not yet know if it is the other members of the group yet. So far it is on the one, but I suspect it is all of the users in the group.

It seems it was just a matter of logging off and on. For some reasons I thought the permissions were real time.

When adding a User to a Security Group, the only way this would get updated is to logoff/logon. On the other hand if a Group Policy was changed that could affect this User/Computer then you can sometimes get away with a gpupdate /force - all depends on what type of change.

Always safer to reboot or logoff and on again :-)
