Is there any difference applying NTFS permissions directly on a volume vs on a folder?
I have terminal servers with 2008, 2012 and 2016 where people are working with restricted use data. There is a scratch volume for temporary files. When a user logs in the first time, a script runs that creates a folder with their name at the root of the volume. The Creator Owner user is set at the volume to have full control over subfolders and files only, so the new user is the only person who can get into their new folder (besides the server admins). None of these folders are shared out. That's been working as intended.
I've created a new shared folder at the root called Transfer. I'm trying to replicate the process above so that users can transfer files from their desktop but still only have access to their own folder. I've set up the Transfer folder with the same permissions as the volume, but I'm not able to create my user folder under it when I log in with a non-admin user account. I get an "Access is denied" error.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
