Question : Remove DELETE permissions but still allow MOVE

NTFS in Windows server environment.

On a file server I want to disallow a user the ability to DELETE files (we don't use VSS so deleting off a network share permanently deletes things) but at the same time want them to be able to MOVE files between folders.

Is this possible??

Answer : Remove DELETE permissions but still allow MOVE

The short answer is you cannot grant move without delete.  When you move a file you are actually performing 3 operations that you can use NTFS permissions to allow or deny.

1.  Read Data - Place the source file into memory
2.  Write Data - Write the file to a new location
3.  Delete - Delete the source file
