problem with this approach is that they don't see anything underneath the Management share - and since you can only map a single share to a drive letter, you'd have to introduce multiple mapped drives to achieve this goal, which is what Windows admins have done all along, e.g. if someone is member of two of the groups (e.g. write on Sales, but read on Finance...).
 
In large environments this becomes rather messy... - thus the new Access Based Enumeration feature in 2003 SP1.

You can.  You just have to deny them "list folder contents", and they can not see what's in the folder, that coupled with a denied read should take care of it.
Personally, I'd create new shares for Sales and Finance and map those straight to M:.  Then map your Management to M: for your respective groups.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Hide Subfolders with NTFS Permissions

Hello all:

 

Management has requested a NTFS permissions structure that “hides” certain subfolders. Here’s what I want to do:

 

Folder  ->  NTFS Permission by Group

\Management (share)    -> Managers

    \ Legal -> (inherited)

    \ HR -> (inherited)

    \ Sales -> Managers and Sales

    \ Finance -> Managers and Bookkeepers

 

For people in the Managers group, \Management maps as M: and they see and have access to all subfolders.

For Sales folks, \Management maps as M: but they only see and have access to \management\sales

For Bookkeepers, \Management maps as M: but they only see and have access to \management\Finance

 

Is this possible? Or practical? Does this violate some “best practices”?

 

Thanks.
