I am working in a school and using Windows 2008 server R2. We have 4 different courses offered with 3-5 sections. This is what I want to ask. I have this courses and sections. Example inside the folder CS2012-2013, I have CS1a, CS1b, CS2a, CS2b, CS3a, CS3b, CS4a different folders. Inside that folder for every course and section, I have different folders for the individual students. The active directory and domain controller are working fine. I have also created a group based on the course and section. How can I allow only one member to access his/her own folder without allowing the rest of the group to view his/her own folder? By the way the individual students after logged in can view their own folders just like a drive and that part is working. Diagram: CS2012-2012 => CS1a, CS1b, CS2a, CS2b, CS3a, CS3b, CS4a CS1a => student1, student2, student3, etc. student1 => allowing only his/herself to work on the folder

At fast, I would do that In your AD: CS2012-2012 (create a security group) => CS1a, CS1b, CS2a, CS2b, CS3a, CS3b, CS4a (create a security group for each folder that is member of the parent security group) CS1a => student1, student2, student3, etc. (add each student to each security group) student1 => allowing only his/herself to work on the folder (make all folder with the correct security)MCP | MCTS 70-236: Exchange Server 2007, Configuring

Agree with Yagmoth, you should use different resource groups and account groups, then set different permissions to achieve that. Regards, MiyaMiya Yao TechNet Community Support

Or you can give direct permission for student on personal folder student1 => allowing only his/herself to work on the folder And set GPO tu use Bypass Traverse Checking option You can find it here: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Best regards Dubravko Marak MCP Blog: Windows Server Administration Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
