Hello,

File Security and Access Rights are a complex story (that would go beyond what can be handled in a User's Manual). Unfortunately, I don't know if it is possible to let users read and write a folder, but not let them delete or move the folder.

The following is a good starting point on ACL:

And there is an interesting topic ("Windows SIDs and Tokens") in the Learning SetupBuilder Part I.

Does this help?
