    Re: Prevent user from deleting or moving folder

    Hello,

    File Security and Access Rights are a complex story (that would go beyond what can be handled in a User's Manual). Unfortunately, I don't know if it is possible to let users read and write a folder, but not let them delete or move the folder.

    The following is a good starting point on ACL:

    And there is an interesting topic ("Windows SIDs and Tokens") in the Learning SetupBuilder Part I.

    Does this help?

    I set Set Access Control in help file... but no explanatino of various Permissions settings.

    is it possible to let user read and write a folder but not let them delete or move the folder?
