Hiding folders that a user does not have rights to access - WebDAV JasperS 01-02-2008

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to hide folders which a user does not have permission
to access. I've successfully done this for several SMB shares using
Microsoft's Access-based Eunermation (ABE) tool, however the problem is the
folders are also available via webDAV on IIS. Via WebDAV, the hidden folders
are still visible. Does anyone have any suggestions or workarounds for this?

Environment:
Windows 2003 Std R2 file server
~150 Windows XP clients

Much appreciated,
Jasper.

Add Deny NTFS permitions for the specific group or user and the folder will
disapear.

Thanks for your reply George.

Unfortunately I don't think this would work in my situation as the folders
in question are shared folders for different project working groups and a
single individual may be a member of multiple working groups. Since Deny
permissions take precedence a user who is a member of multiple groups would
be denied access to their folders.

Example:

Users:
-----------
User1
User2

Groups:
-----------
Group1 (members: User1, User2)
Group2 (members: User2)

Folders:
-----------
ContainingFolder (permissions: Group1,2 -read&execute (allow; this folder
only)
Group1Folder (permissions: Group1 -modify (allow), Group2 - full control
(deny)
Group2Folder (permissions: Group2 -modify (allow), Group1 - full control
(deny)


Perhaps I'm missing something?

Jasper.
