Okay, I'm still really new, but I have to start helping out sooner or later, so here goes. 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?

We have a /homes folder where I intend to allow LAN users to have their own home directories.
So, for this folder, I've changed permission so that "Owner" can see management views, edit DTML, add DTML, Folders, images, etc.
Then, as each user, I create a folder for them (so that they own it.) They now can manage their folders, edit, etc. perfectly.
[ with the oddity that Add ODBC Connection always shows up, BTW. It seems to have a wrong permission setting. ]
My users can "Add User Folder", so they can add an acl_users folder so that they can create private areas, etc.; however, they *can't* seem to edit the user's directly: clicking on the acl_users only shows them the Undo/Security options, not the contents tab of acl_users. By directly entering the URL, they can get to the contents tab, and add/edit users.
However, I can't figure out how my users can change the permissions of subfolders in their home directory. When they get into a intended-to-be-private subdir, and ask to see the permissions for it (so that they could take View away from Anon), they see the permission categories but EVERYTHING is unchecked.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in this version (2.3.0/Windows)? Is there a document somewhere that describes user folders in a non-portal environment?
Thanks for *any* help!
