■

All users should be able to create documents in the Public folder.

■

All users should be able to modify the contents, properties, and permissions of the

documents that they create in the Public folder.

■

User82 is responsible for maintaining the Public folder and should be able to mod-

ify and delete all files in the Public folder.
