Server 2003 Security Permissions Not Working

I have created a new shared folder (mapped drive) on our data server to store documents.  I am assigning security permissions to some people, but it doesnt seem to be taking.

For example, I have given myself full control of the folder however if I try to make a new document in the folder, I get a access denied message.  This is happening for all the other people also.

Not sure what the issue is since I do this kind of stuff all the time.  I just cant get it to work for this new shared folder I am trying to set up.

Could be there is a "deny rule". Deny overrides "Allow"
Hi all,

Alldaysentry, turn odd the UAC and check whether the error still exists.

Do update us again.

Thank you

Usually you have to wait for the permissions to propagate try rebooting the client or atleast have the user log off and back on.

liranp1,

That was it.  They were listed under sharing under the main shared folder.  Once I added them, they were now able to create documents, etc.

Question, I'd still like to control their access to the subfolders using the security.  But when I add them using sharing on the main folder, they have all access to the subfolders unless I add them using security and put in a specific deny.  Is this correct?

What I would like to do is add them under sharing in the main shared folder, then have to add them specifically to each subfolder using security and giving them allow rights.
