When I copied files from a shared network drive to our new server the file permissions no longer work. The biggest problem I am having is permissions for and excel spreadsheet in one of the folders. All users should be able to see and read the contents of the folder but only a select few should be able to make changes to a document. Different documents in the folder need to have different permissions.
I am using security groups but they don’t seem to work. On the security tab it clearly indicates that the group has full control of the spreadsheet; however, when anyone in this group tries to make changes they receive an error stating that the user doesn’t have permission.
When I give the group full control of the entire folder there are no issues in making changes to the document. Since all users can’t have the rights to make changes to all documents in the folder, I had to change it back. The document initially inherited permission from the parent so I changed that and reset all the permissions again and it still doesn’t work.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
