Solved Can You Stop Users Accidently Deleting/Moving Folders?

  • 2

Hi
Is it possible to stop users accidently moving or deleting folders?
Yes i can set the delete permission and that works but I have this setup…

Take a nested set of folders (4 is in 3, is in 2 is in 1)
so 1 is the root folder

If i set the delete deny on folder 1, but not on the nested folders, and a user tried to delete folder 1, subfolders 2, 3 and 4 will be deleted.

I cant set delete deny on all folder and file as users have to make and delete files and folders below folder one level.

So if i only set it delete deny on folder 1 and they try to delete folder 1, folder 1 would be left in tact but with no contents. This is because when they try to delete folder 1 is says “do you want to delete folder 1 and all its contents”

Is there a way to stop this, or a better config method?

thanks for all help

      I understand what you’re saying about their hands moving faster than their brains. The problem is that you want a modified write access. There is a well written explanation of Windows permissions at:

      Maybe you can find something there.
