We have a projects folder which contains over 50 projects. Management can access all the projects and project managers can access their own specific projects. I created the projects folder, made it a share, and set the permissions for management access for the share and that went well. However, when I try to set the permission for each individual project folders, the permission on the right hand side doesn't seem to respond. Any help would be appreciated.
Active Directory, once joined to the domain, should all be managed using Explorer. I think you'll have a difficult time setting permissions using Local users on folders inside a share.
There is no ability to have a share within a share. The shares get created at the root directory of the data volume. The GUI allows you to set permissions on the Share level and on file access, but that's about it.
If you're already considering AD, then I would just try joining it and setting your permissions via Explorer. It will make life so much easier.
