Question : SharePoint 2007 alerts, permissions?

I'm a SharePoint end user. I've set up a document library and limited certain users to accessing only 1 specific folder in that library. I would like these users to have access only to this folder (which I can do). I would also like them to be able to use the alert me feature of the SharePoint site for the folder to which they have access so that they can be updated when I post documents. However, users are reporting that they get an access denied message when trying to use the alert me feature. Can I give them access to this feature in this folder and its subfolders.

Thanks

Answer : SharePoint 2007 alerts, permissions?

Yes, you need to asign them a permission level which has permission "create alerts" in it. You can create a new permission level, so it doesn't affect existing ones and then assign to these users this permission level for the folder and it's content.

You should also check on which page they are getting the access denied and give them permissions to this page as well.
