Shared folder root ?

Hi!

 

For my office I need to share few folders:

- PubR -> read only access

- PubRW -> read\write access to everyone

- Scans -> r\w access to some department

- Managers -> it will have one sub folder for each department manager

- Depts -> one sub folder for each departments

 

Is it better to have one shared folder with five subfolders , or five shares?

Which are pros and cons of the two options?

Obviously, employees will have different permissions on each shares.

Thanks.

 

  • Its better to make one root (Data) folder and create subfolder as your requirement . Do NTFS permission with inheritance permission according to department. Make sure Security Group created for R/O and R/W.
