📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses configuring folder permissions for a documents folder with two groups: office and home. The original poster requests different permissions for each group—full control for office and limited permissions for home. The respondent explains that if users are accessing the folder with the same account, adjusting permissions dynamically is problematic, suggesting network-based solutions like NAP policies or Windows Rights Management Services for more controlled access. The overall focus is on managing permissions and access control in a Windows environment.

If the users are using the same account to access the documents in both cases then it's not going to work. You can't under normal circumstances change ACLs. If however they were connecting into the network to work on the documents you could probably create NAP policies to restrict access, but that would require a NAP solution deployed or possibly done with Win RMS if there is an active directory environment in play.
