Here is the problem

In that folder i have sub folders A1, A2, A3...


In active directory i have organization groups accounting, managment etc...

I wont to disable for all groups write and modifed in folder Share but allow in sub folders A1 A2 A3... to have write and modife.


How could i do that ?

You need to set the share permissions to read/write, when accessing file/folders from a network share the most restrictive permissions apply.

Share perms + ntfs perms = most restrictive perms apply.
------(R)-------------(R/W)--------------------(R)--------------------

Normally subfolders are set to inherit permissions from their parent, this needs to be disabled first.


Select folder and right click -> Properties -> Security (tab) -> Advanced -> Permissions (tab) -> "Change Permissions..." (button)
Remove tick from "Include Inheritable permissions from this object's parent...". You can either keep the permissions, and edit them to your liking, or set completely new ones a this point.
Don't forget to Apply/OK
