Certain users disappear from security tab in Windows SBS 2003
I recently inherited a client, that is running Windows small business server 2003 standard. They have a file on the server that they are giving modify rights to three users. Every time those rights are given to those users, everything works perfectly fine for 2 to 3 days, then two of the users disappear and the remaining user rights change from modified to read only. I have enabled audit logs for that particular file to try to determine what's changing the permissions, but no indicators there. Any ideas on how to resolve this? The file is a production critical object and they need access to this everyday.

Sorry for the delay. I just changed their rights by removing inherited and gave them modify again. I'll check it over the next few days to see if it reverted back.
Great, thanks for the feedback. Let us know how you get on.

All 3 users still have modify rights this morning. I will monitor it thru tomorrow at close to see if everything is good.

Just checked and all modify rights that I assigned have disappeared and reverted back to one user being completely gone out of the security tab and the other two users simply having only read/write capabilities. So unfortunately I'm back to where I started.

I will do all if the above to see if results stick. I believe I am the only admin for this company - at least as far as I know.

Sorry for the long delay. It appears that the folder attribute were corrupt. I created another folder in another location and moved files. Access rights stayed in place. Thanks!
I would start by restricting the rights on the folder to the users who need it.
Check to see if security is inherited from the parent folder. If it is, stop this and copy the permissions instead.
