Hi All,

i am trying to give such kind of permission to a group, so that members of the group able to upload the documents into document library folder but shouldn't able to delete the document. i tried to create custom permission level, assigned read permission at the site level and custom generic permission (add items) into document library level. i was able to upload document into folder but problem is giving "access denied" error before adding the document? is there anyway, this access denied modal dialog box will not pop up, bcz end user perspective its not good experience though? FYI, i got help from following link

You can create permissions that allow upload without delete, but you need to give the users both Add and Edit items permissions.  Otherwise they won't be able to set the metadata on the document during upload.  Delete items is a separate permission so they still won't be able to delete.  But they must have edit permission at the library level to upload items.
