Hi,

Simply give Users "Read & Execute" permissions to the folder, and give the CREATOR OWNER "Modify" permissions.

Users permissions:

**CREATOR OWNER's permissions:
**

The CREATOR OWNER access control entries should always be inherit-only, because it doesn't make sense for them to apply to any actual object.

When using more recent versions of Windows all CREATOR OWNER entries are automatically marked inherit-only.

In the Advanced tab of the folder Security permissions, the inherit-only flag translates as "Subfolders and files only".

Changing it to "This folder, subfolders and files" would have the effect of clearing the inherit-only flag, which can't be done for CREATOR OWNER.

Best regards,
Leon

Dear Leon,

I have followed your step to try. the test account cannot create the new folder under the root folder, so i also able the create file and create folder permission for the test account. Now success.

Thank you so much.
