    How to restrict user write/read permissions for a specific directory


    How do I enforce a standard user such that he/she can create files/folders within a specific directory (e.g., Desktop directory)? Any write access to the other directories should be denied.

    Hello Yildizabdullah, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You could add their user name to the permissions of the directory, and check "Deny" "Full Control" to prevent them from being able to open the directory.

    Be careful though. If you deny a directory, it will also prevent them from being able to open the subfolders in that directory.

    Here's a tutorial with more details on permissions. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. :)
