Directory Security

[Guest Dave Taylor]

I have SBS 2008 that I migrated from SBS 2003. In one of the directories, I

have an Access database that several client computers use (each of the

computers logs in with the same user ID to run this particular database

application). However, I cannot seem to grant enough rights for the user to

open the database in a non-read-only way. Looking at the "effective

permissions" for the user, it has "full control" of the directory, yet it

cannot create the Access .LDB file (nor can it even create just a simple sub

folder in the directory). The user account is only a member of a couple

groups, none of which have particular rights set on this directory. If I

login with admin priveleges, of course I can open/close/create stuff in the

directory...so I know its a security issue...I'm just not sure what else to

'enable'? Any help/ideas?

 

Thanks

Directory Security - solved

 

I finally found the culprit; it wasn't NTFS permissions on the directory at

all. It was the permissions on the share. Once I added the user name as a

"contributor" to the share, voila, everything worked. Thought I'd post here

for completeness.

 

Thanks
