Scenario:<br />
<br />
We have the following directory structure<br />
<br />
<br />
Business<br />
&nbsp; Operations<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Procurement<br />
&nbsp; <br />
User is in a security group in procurement folder and at the root (business) but only for that folder.<br />
<br />
If I map to \\servername\business with their account they can't see any folders because they don't have access to operations. &nbsp;Is there anyway for them to see operations so they can get to procurement or for them to see procurement without me having to create another drive mapping \\business\operations\proc<wbr />urement<br />
<br />
If I browse to \\Business\Operations\Proc<wbr />urement they can then see the folders/files inside procurement.<br />
<br />
I am trying to come up with a solution that requires the least amount of security groups possible.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
