Godfrey It then moves from technical control to procedural control.
By Design you would have 3 mapped drives. Personal Docs Folder - Individual user access and mapped to my documents and desktop of the user Department Folder - All related users of the department have w/r access Public Folder - All users can have w/r access Others have secured folders dependingly With write access you may have little technical control save for type of files and size which you can deny storage. After that you have to control how user save files to the folder through policy and procedures You can have a custodian/data owner for the folder, who determines who, what to save. You need to look at quota as well. An integrated approach of processes can help you achieve what you want but not an out of the box technical control will give you solution Regards On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 2:48 PM, Baluku Godfrey <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks peter, > > People are supposed to save and edit their files on this shared drive. > > > On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 2:43 PM, Peter C.
