NTFS permissions - creator owner
Hello
I am in need of some advice.
We have a local windows 7 machine that supports multiple accounts with different users utilising it at different times.
I am trying to setup a folder where all users can write to the folder however I want to prevent the users from modifying other user's files. The users all need to be able to view the files I just don't want them to edit them unless they own or created the file.
The only way I could get it to work was to allow users the write permission and disabled the special permission create folder/append data. This has worked to some degree however I'm sure it isn't the correct way to do this task.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time
