i am attempting to give a user full access to the subfolders of a folder, but not the root folder...
i have over a hundred folders at the main level, and many more in each sublevel - so i am looking for a way to automate this... any suggestions?
i would imagine the solution is a script that will loop through all of the main folders, set permissions to be read only, then loop through each sub-folder and give permissions to create/delete etc on each one.... but maybe this sort of feature is already available in windows server 2008?
e.g.
.../mainfolder1 (no permissions to make changes)
.../mainfolder/subfolder1
.../mainfolder/subfolder2 (full permissions inside each of these)
.../mainfolder/subfolder3
.../mainfolder2
.../mainfolder2/subfolder1
.../mainfolder2/subfolder2
.../mainfolder2/subfolder3
etc
any advice appreciated,
Cheers!
