I have a 2003 server that I am moving all users from another server to the 03
one. I have created the users name and $ and shared it out. I have changed
the home path in active directory to reflect the new path of the users
folder. I can log into the domain as the user and map the users folder.

I am not able to save to this folder and know it is a permission issue but
due to lack of time and not enough research I was a bit reluctant to move
forward. If I right click on the users folder go to Sharing and security I
can see the group and users names and the access rights. There is also an
advanced feature.

If I right click on the users folder and go to properties (I think as I am
not right in front of it) I can get to a second different permissions menu
where I can select the users and check the name (apparently verified in
active directory).

My question is where do I set the permissions for the user and also add the
tech person with admin rights? I hope I am on the right path to geting this
set up correctly.

Am I also correct in believeing that anyone who would know that path can map
to a shared folder but with the correct permissions can not read or see any
of the material in the users folder?

Thanks in advance,
Kim

The users need full control permissions to their folder and be owner of the
folder. The users group should also full control permissions to the share.
You right click a folder, select properties - security to manage ntfs
permissions. Anyone who knows the path to the share can see the share
contents if they have at least read permissions to the share but not access
a folder in a share unless they have permissions to the folder.. There is an
exception with SP1 if you are using access based enumeration as shown in the
second link below. The first link below may help you in determining
permissions needed for your users.
