If you have not granted any "special permissions", and the group does not
have full control, they cannot change NTFS permissions.

YOUR REVISED STATEMENT
If you have not granted any "special permissions", and the group does not
have full control, they cannot change NTFS permissions

Now that statement is correct. I already knew that which is what I was
trying to let you know.

YOUR FIRST STATEMENT:
If you set "Everyone - Full Control" at the share level, and do not grant
full control to non-administrators at the NTFS level, users should not be
able to change permissions

SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

I guess for your sake I should have said "Everyone - Full Control at the
share level, and do not grant
full control to non-administrators at the NTFS level, users should not be
able to change permissions, unless you grant them "change permissions"
rights which no one in their right mind would do anyway".

Want to know why it makes no sense to do what you are proposing? Because if
you give someone the rights to change permissions, they can give themselves
and everyone else "full control" anyway. You might as well just give them
full control. There is no reason in the world to grant NTFS permissions
like this. What you are saying, while technically correct, makes NO SENSE.

My original statement, at face value, is not incorrect, unless you've gone
into the advanced tab and tweaked the permissions as you describe, which
rather foolish.

Bill why do you insist on being so persistant. No I do not want to know why
it makes no sense because I already know why. And I don't care why it makes
no sense. I never claimed it to be. Now if you have read my postings when I
tried to explain I said "IN OTHER WORDS, FOR EXAMPLE, I CAN ASSIGN A GROUP
OR USER READ/WRITE ONLY AND GIVE THEM "SPECIAL PERMISSIONS" TO "CHANGE
PERMISSIONS". THIS CAN BE DONE FROM THE "ADVANCE"

Do you understand what I meant by for "example". Where did I ever say that
it is the correct thing to do and suggested some one do it. You just can't
handle constructive criticism huh Bill? Just admit you made a wrong
statement and that you stand corrected and quit trying to justify your wrong
doing by trying to make false pretences towards others. So far neither one
of us has helped the poster because I'm sure he is getting more entertained
through reading your persistance ignorance on trying to justify yourself.
Jesus Christ quit trying to be someone you are not. Your level of expertise
is limit compared to others here as was evident when you posted in the
Exchange NG.

Tornado my sincere apologies. I'm sorry you had to read through all of this.
But I'm sure you see my point and who is right and who is wrong. I do hope
you get an answer elsewhere. Hopefully not from Bill.

I AM DONE WITH THIS THREAD..
