Issues with security

Good day,

I have sharepoint 07, the issues are as follows:

  • on the default site, when created a folder i and I set security configurations for the folder to be viewed by certain persons everyone still has access to view the folder.
  • With the My Site under shared and personnel documents when i upload a file/document I am not able to search for it from the search bar.

Thank you for any assistance provided.

Are permissions working elsewhere as expected in the site? Are users able to edit the contents of the library or only view the items? To me it sounds like it could be one of two things:

1. a web application user policy could be used to grant all users read or full control access.

2. when you created the new library and broke permission inheritance, you didn't remove the permissions you don't want (i.e. all users accessing the library)

My Sites need to be in a content source for them to be crawled. As well, SharePoint needs to run an incremental or full crawl on the content before an item appears in search results.

I would start by looking at search to see if the crawls are working, My Sites are crawled, and look at the crawl schedule to see when crawls run to figure out when you should expect new items to be searchable.

With the default site I created a folder then in the folder went through settings then document library settings and changed the permission for this document library but still persons are able to see that the folder exists.

I understand crawled as that it has to be searchable, and it is, I scanned it using paperport OCR, however it Sharepoint is not finding it, weather the Title name of the document or content of the document.

But would the crawlers work in default site, but how not in My site?

Thank you for responding thus far and hope you can shed future insight to the new questions posed.
