ACL for all files in folder, but different ACL for parent folder (eq. delete permission)

[sim-jac]

We have the situation, that we share groupfolders with member-content, management-content and public-content of a group. To realize this we created three subfolder (member, management, public) and three groups with advanced permissions to the subfolder.

Furthermore wie deny the write/delete access for the three groups to the main-folder, to avoid, that user can create new folder beside the three subfolder we created. Of course user should also not be able to delete the subfolder. Unfortunately - if we set the advanced permission do deny deleting user are also not able do delete files inside a subfolder.

Solution: The possibility of setting advanced-permission with wildcard to all files inside a folder, combined with different advanced-permissions of the parent-folder.

Best regards
Simon

@sim-jac What's the issue with denying delete on the main directory and allow delete again in the three subdirectories?

Hi, for me the issue is that I want to prevent users from deleting those subdirectories while allowing them to delete files inside them. As far as I can tell, there is currently no way to do that, right? There would have to be a "Allow inside" option.
I'd like to be able to do that to ensure that at least a certain directory structure is always preserved.
