Many CS faculty use a "turn-in" folder on CS Classes to allow students to submit solutions to assigned work. If security is set up properly, students will be able to drag files or folders to the turn-in folder without being able to view the contents of any submitted file or folder. They will be able to see the contents of the turn-in folder to confirm that the work has been submitted.

These are the steps for creating a turn-in folder for your class:

1. Create a folder within your CS Classes username folder and give it an appropriate name (e.g. CS 1010 Turn-In").
2. Right click on the turn-in folder and select Properties, then click on the Security tab.
3. Click the Advanced button, then uncheck the box that has a long sentence starting with "Inherit". A dialog will come up asking you if you want to Copy or Remove the permissions. Select Copy. If you select Remove it will wipe out all the permissions so DON'T DO THIS.
4. Click OK to go back to the original security dialog. Now you should see that the permissions are no longer grayed out.
5. Remove "Grad Assistants" from the list.
6. In the list of groups, you should see one called itslabs. If you don't see it, click on the Add button and type "itslabs" in the text box and click OK.
7. Click on the itslabs group and set the permissions to be "list Folder Contents" and "Write". Uncheck all other options.
8. Click on the "Authenticated Users" group and set the permissions to be "list Folder Contents" and "Write". Uncheck all other options.
9. If you want your graduate assistant to have full access to the folder, you need to give access. Suppose the grad assistant's username is tsmith. Click the Add button, type "tsmith" in the text box, and click OK.
10. Click on the grad assistant's username and check the box "Full Control" in the Allow column.
11. Click OK to close the Security window

This should get the correct settings for a lab turn in folder. If you want to test you can try the machine in Hayes 233 (classroom image) or visit the FSG lab.
