Configure storage permissions for use with Profile Containers and Office Containers

Profile Containers and Office Container store user information in a VHD(X) file. Generally these files are stored in a network location. Profile Containers and Office Containers can automatically create the needed folders and files. For correct and secure use, user permissions must be created to allow permissions to create and use a profile, while not allowing access to other users profiles.

There are many ways to create secure and functional storage permissions for use with Profile Containers and Office Container. Below is one configuration option that provides new-user functionality that doesn't require users to have administrative permissions.

User Account	Folder	Permissions
Users	This Folder Only	Modify
Creator / Owner	Subfolders and Files Only	Modify
Administrator (optional)	This Folder, Subfolders, and Files	Full Control
