Looking for advice. I am running 10.5.2 on a MacPro and have several people on my network logging in to a Standard User Account.

These users need to read and write files in the Documents folder but I do not want them to have the ability to delete or move to the trash.

If I create the Files and Folders in the Admin Account and then share them to the Standard Account, would this accomplish what I need to do?

I know that in any User Account you can not prohibit people from deleting (both in Admin and Standard).

Any ideas here or would we need 10.5 Server to prohibit deletion?

Thanks

You can set their user account priveleges for the folder to "Read Only."

Just navigate to the folder, Get Info (command -I) on it, and then look at the bottom of the Get Info window.
