Read and append only permissions

[marklantis]

I've googled this but I can't seem to find how to configure a file's permission for read and append only. Maybe someone can show me the configuration to use. I don't want network users to be able to delete or erase other's data; just append their own work. I've tried unchecking write and check append but windows says read only when I try to append it.

Inconsistent - - R/O inhibits all forms of Write (append is a write action).

Apparently you are working on a commonly share folder (eg: Public) and still want to exercise controls over the files.

*IF* this is not a DOMAIN environment and there are just a few users, I would suggest:

• add a folder for each user
• set the folder OWNER to the user
• set FULL CONTROL for the user
• set the EVERYONE to R/O

As new files arrive, the perms above will be applied as required
