Windows 7 + ADS permissions problems
ReadyNAS Pro 4, joined to domain first thing out of the box. Create a share "projects" following the Active Directory video in this forum. In order to copy our files/folders into the share while prese...
I recently was working on an issue similar to this.
Files changing permissions, could not delete some files, issues when users tried simultaneously to access same file, etc.
Access situation - groups of users wanting to have password access to certain shares and have full functionality while in that share for read,write,delete.
Under respective share and CIFS do the following:
- set default access to disabled
- check write enabled users and fill in user names for users who will have access
- check automatically set permissions on new files and folders
- check do not allow acl permissions to be more restrictive than this
- set all permissions below to read/write
- set oplocks to off - read a lot about this and recommended to not use oplocks if have multiple users accessing same files
- save data
under advanced options tab
- type in actual share folder name for share folder owner
- left all permissions read/write
- checked set ownership and permissions for existing files...
- save
What I found is if allow acl permissions was not checked, it would allow any new files to be set for read/write for the creator and read only for everyone else.
Oplocks was causing issues with word/excel read only warnings
on shares where the folder owner was not the folder name - users could not delete files (their permissions were read and write only)
Hope this helps.
