or: How do you prevent the deletion of directories with explicit permissions?
The NTFS right "Modify Plus" ensures stability in the directory tree
The ModifyPlus right prevents the user from accidentally moving, renaming or deleting the authorization endpoint. The new ModifyPlus is considered an alternative to the NTFS standard right Modify.
The NTFS standard right "Modify" contains the flag "Delete" under the extended rights.
This allows all accounts with the right to access the directory
- Delete
- Rename
- Move
With Modify Plus, the "Delete" flag is replaced by "Delete subdirectories and files". This makes it a special right - but it has considerable advantages.
What is new is that you do not have to decide whether to assign Modify rights or ModifyPlus rights in a project. You now have a choice for each directory (permission endpoint), whether the user should receive normal modify rights, or whether you want to prevent the user from moving or deleting this directory. You may have experienced it yourself that a user has moved his directory with the mouse and will not find it again. This prevents ModifyPlus.
