Hi ,

I want to setup a shared directory with one share at the root and containing
directories that you can only see if you have permission i.e. are in the
group that should have access. What i don't want is a directory full of
visible directories that people don't have access to apart from the one
their group has access to. Just to labour the point it's not only the
content of the other directoris that i don't want visible its also the
directories themselves.
So as follows

user1 is in group1
user2 is in group2

Actual structure
shared
|
------Dir 1
|
------Dir2

But to user1 it looks like

shared
|
------Dir 1

and to user 2

shared
|
------Dir2

Can anyone help this is driving me mad. I'm sure it's real obvious just
can't work it out.

Cheers

You cannot hide directories from being visible even if they have no access.
You have to make sub directories and give them no access to the parent
directory in order to hide a folder name.

About the closest approach is to make the share a hidden share
on a server that does not announce itself in the browselist, and
then do a deep mapping so that
\\server\share$\dir1 gets mapped for the users allowed dir1
\\server\share$\dir2 gets mapped for the users allowed dir2
etc.

If they need to be able to browse to some \\server\share and
then find their directory within, then they will see the list of
all directories at that upper level.
