Okay, I'm still really new, but I have to start helping out sooner or later, so here goes.
Thanks for your suggestion!
I do something similar by assigning a local role of Manager to each user for his/her own folder. It may then be possible (more knowledgable people, come to my rescue here!) to create all of the user folders from a single account with a global role of Manager, since ownership is not an issue if the user has local Manager permissions?
That is possible, and would work well, I think, but if I could get it working, I think Owner would be better. I was hoping to take the Owner route b/c I'd have to set up the local role of Mgr for *each* folder for each person (I don't want Jim to manage Jeff's folder), whereas with the Owner schema I can (should be able to?) simple assign for the enclosing /home folder that Owners have certain rights, and as the folders get created, they get those rights. (Plus, part of the challenge would be that I don't *want* them to do many things that Managers can do--I'd have to create a new Role, 'ContentCreator' or somesuch, with certain permissions, and have them get that, not the Manager role.) -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
