Normally, when a folder is shared the sub-folders inherit the permissions of that folder. That is, if someone can access the folder they should also be able to access any sub-folders.
The following describes how set the permissions of a sub-folder to be different to those of a parent folder.
- Click on Start, Programs, Accessories and Windows Explorer
- Right click on folder that is to be setup with different permissions and click Properties
- Click Security and unclick box marked 'Allow inheritable properties..'
- A warning message appears, to allow only the owner (make sure you know under which id the folder was created) to set the permissions click Remove. Otherwise click Copy.
- Logon as owner or, if Copy was clicked in the last step, a user already defined with full access
- Using Windows Explorer, right click on folder and click Properties
- Click security and Add users
