folder permissions

[eNathan]

We have a repository of reports(Crystal). It is many folders and
subfolders.We have set permissions to these folders based on who needs
access to them by implementing groups in Active Directory.

Problem: I want to populate a tree view with only the folders the user has
permissions to. I can get the groups the user is a member of. I can't
determine which groups have permissions to which folders. Any suggestions
would be welcomed.

You could store this information in the AppSetting section of the web.config
and look it up based on the users role before populating the tree view.

I am encountering a connection issue. CS3 is balking at creating a folder in a
directory to which it has permissions.

Imagine a setup of /maindirectory and /maindirectory/divisiondirectory.
I want to be able to allow a user to edit files in the divisiondirectory folder
only.

I originally set the user account as read-only on the maindirectory and full
access on the division directory. CS3 would not allow me to connect to the
site. The log indicated a problem in creating a test folder, not in the
initial connection.

[I should note, using this setup, I could use command-line ftp and access
divisiondirectory fine with the user's credentials. I could create
sub-folders, files, etc. in the divisiondirectory. This setup also passed
without error the little FTP Server Check program the online docs suggest.]

I made one modification -- I modified it so that the user had full access to
maindirectory as well. CS3 then allowed me to connect and edit files. (Alas,
the user can now also edit files in the maindirectory, which I definately do
not want!)

Is this problem by design (in other words, did the designers intended for it
to act this way)?

Input would be much appreciated. )
