I've posted in the past and received great advice from many of you, so here goes:

We are running Lion on a a multi-user computer in my office. Two employees share access to a file on that iMac's had drive. The files are under User #1, but User #2 has read/write access to them. I also have access, and am the admin account on the computer.

We can access the files from either user #1 or user #2 just fine, but something odd has happened. If we want to rename any of the folders contained within the shared folder, we now have to enter an admin password. This is true even when we're logged in as user #1, the user in whose directory the folder resides.

I've disabled and re-enabled the permission via the sharing tab of "get info" for the main folder, and through system preferences, with no resolution to this issue.

Anybody have any suggestions on to remedy this situation? Let me know what further details might be helpful, and I'll track them down. Thanks!
