Several questions concerning Set Access Control:
Operation -- Is there more information about these choices? For example, what
is the difference between "Grant File Access" and "Set File Access"?
I hope to use this to permit all users read/write/create/delete priveleges to
COMMON_APP_DATA\MyCompany\MyApp.
* Am I correct that this is only necessary for Vista? If so, Should I use
Set Access Control conditionally?
* What if the target is not using NTFS? Must I test for this? If so, how?
* If I have multiple apps, must I set COMMON_APP_DATA\MyCompany\MyApp1,
COMMON_APP_DATA\MyCompany\MyApp2, etc., or just COMMON_APP_DATA\MyCompany
Domains/Users -- The help illustrates this with "SYSTEM" and "Users" and says,
"User can be a valid Windows account." How can I know what to enter here in
order to provide all users access to COMMON_APP_DATA\MyCompany\MyApp? Opening
the Lock Permissions Details dialog is not much help since the User lookup
button opens a local folder selector -- how does this relate?
BTW Pressing F1 on the Lock Permissions Details dialog calls up the "#set
compiler variable" topic.
Permissions -- How can I know which options to select in order to provide
read/write/create/delete privileges?
Perhaps I could find some answers on a cryptic MS sites, but I am hopeful that
something more productive is available. Perhaps the SP help topic could be
expanded or this topic covered in a white paper?
Many thanks,
Greg Fasolt
