Preserve user rights when copying folders
PostPosted:Thu Jan 15, 2009 11:25 am
We use a set folder structure for our documentation projects.
I created a \"template\" folder, and stored it in a folder called \"Admin\".
I assigned user permissions for the various sub-folders, so managers can read & write in all sub-folders, but writers can only write in certain sub-folders (they can read all sub-folders).
When I copied the folder to a projects folder, the whole folder and sub-folders were copied, but the user rights have been lost - now, in the sub-folders where writers could write, this is not read only.
Is there a way to preserve user permissions when copying folders with sub-folders?
