Allison, My Question was , 1) we have a share "test" and user admin has RW access and user1 has R only access. from the windows PC , I have connected "test" share with user admin. and created subfolder "test_subfolder" 2) and on that sub folder admin user has given RW access to user user1 . Why samba is not preventing this, since user1 has R only access on that share "test".??
Smith explained this in last mail.

The processing of security on shares and security in the underlying file system are completely separate. A user who is only granted "read" access on a share should not be able to change permissions on a directory inside the share, as this is a write operation on an underlying directory. An "admin" user should be able to change such permissions at will, as they have full root access to the exported share. Can you explain a little more clearly what you are trying to do (sorry, but I've been a little distracted by other things at the moment) so I can understand if you are describing a bug or not ?
