First if you do not understand special permissions that well take a look at
the link below on how they work and then look at the root/drive share to see
how they are configured. The thing to remember is that users/groups can have
more than one special permission for each possibility in the "apply onto"
box.

There are a couple strategies in shared folders. One where a single parent
folder is shared and the other where several parent folders are shared.
There is not a right or wrong way but whatever works for you. Assuming you
want to share a single parent folder then create the folder and then change
the permissions on it to reflect the users/groups that you want to have
access to all the folders under the parent folder. The security settings on
the main security page are for "folders, subfolders, and files unless a box
is dimmed which indicates that special permissions are being assigned. The
go into the advanced page, select add, and add the user/group you want to be
able to read/list the parent folder to give them read/list equivalent
special permission and select "this folder only" in the apply onto. Then
create your subfolders and give the user/groups the permissions you want
which sounds like read/list/execute/write and the "owner/folder admin" you
designate can have full control permissions. That will allow the specified
user/groups to write files to the folder. You will also notice creator owner
listed for the folder with full control permissions. That allows the user
that writes the file to have full control and be the owner which means that
the same user that created the file can delete it but not other users that
have only read/list/execute/write.
If you are creating folders that include Office files you will probably run
into complications because you can not edit Office with write permissions
only as the user would need to have modify permissions because Office
creates temporary files and when the user closes the edited file it then
deletes the original file and the user editing the file becomes the new
owner. --- Steve
