IS 2008 and File Permissions question
I have a couple files that need to be placed into the [CommonAppDataFolder] and I have to set the permissions of these files to Modify, Read, and Write access.
So I edit the File permission to the following:
Domain User
[%USERDOMAIN] Allusers
[%USERDOMAIN] Everyone
[%USERDOMAIN] Domain Users
Only the Domain Users entry under Users will work, the others give an error during install.
We need this to be set to all users and not just Domain Users, so is there another entry or setting that needs to be used to get this to work for all users?
Thanks,

In short:
If you don't want to specify a domain for your permission set, don't.
Basically you don't have to fill in that field. For something like Everyone it really makes sense to leave that field blank since it's probably not likely you're going to want to (or be able to) specify permissions for the "Everyone" user on the domain (which may or may not exist).
The [%USERDOMAIN] environment variable would really only for situations in which you're specifically targeting the current user.

So Bryan, your saying that if I just specify nothing in the domain entry field and Everyone in the User entry field that this should work for what I need?
If so then thanks and I'll give that a try.

Yep 🙂
The Domain column is completely optional, per the LockPermissions Table doc:
