I have a user who is unable to create folders in a directory where she should have all the necessary permissions to do so. She is a member of an AD group, and the effective permissions for that group include everything except:
- Full control
- Change permissions
- Take ownership
The permissions are inherited from two levels up the tree. So I went to the level from which the permissions are inherited and selected the "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" option in order to force the permissions to be reapplied to the child objects. That fixed the issue for about half a day. The issue came back and as far as I can tell nothing was changed--she still appears to have sufficient permissions to create folders, and yet she cannot. In fact, I established a remote connection to her machine and tried it myself (under her account) and was not able to create a folder at any level in the tree.
I have confirmed that one other user who is in the same AD group can create folders at any level of the directory tree. I have also confirmed that no explicit permissions are set on any of the folders in the tree. So the two users have the same effective permissions, yet it works for one and not the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
