That should work. Modify will just automatically check Read, Execute, and
Write and Delete and List. You don't need execute so Modify isn't necessary.

Also, you may also need to give system access as well if you are running any
processes that might require access to that directory like indexing or
backup.

i haven't tried it yet since my database is residing on public space of the
server (nothing secret in it though yet, i'll move it when it's
ready) so i'll look into the permissions issue when i get to that stage.

no the users are not required to login, it's just a regular database for the
backend of a website. so i am going to guess at a minimum i need
Administrator, IUSR_, will full control? possibly IUSR_ with modify
unchecked? that is what you are suggesting correct (with regards to the IUSR_
account)?
