207 - Wie kann ich Zugriffsrechte unter Windows setzen?

Simple Rights

On personal storage (Personal Cloud Storage), other users cannot be granted access rights; this is only possible on project storage (Institutional Cloud Storage).

If your chair administrator has set the rights on a project drive accordingly, you can further assign rights yourself: Access rights can be set as usual under Windows.

This applies to files as well as folders: Right mouse button → Properties → Security

Figure 1: Setting access rights under Windows - step 1.


Add new user → enter own ID → Apply (possibly add other IDs that are also allowed to access)

Advanced → Uncheck → Copy (inherited rights from above will be copied) → OK

Prevent a user from moving a folder

To move a folder, a user needs the right to delete folders. Two possible approaches:

Variant 1 - Deny

You deny the user or group the right to delete folders and subfolders. However, the disadvantage of this solution is Deny removes all rights that a user would otherwise still have.

Block move on the first level

Block moving in the entire file tree

Variant 2 - restricted rights

You restrict the permissions for the user or group. This variant is somewhat more complex, as you have to set two authorisations.
