Generally speaking, NTFS permissions for creating files and modifying data are one and the same, that is, Create files / write data are a single item in the Advanced Security Settings -> Permissions Entry dialog.
However, it is possible to grant create file access separately to write data access. This is done by granting the following permissions (assume the group to apply this to is called CreateOnlyGroup):
| Name | Permission | Apply To |
| CreateOnlyGroup | Read & Execute | This folder, subfolders and files |
| CreateOnlyGroup | Create files / write data | This folder and subfolders |
| CREATER OWNER | Read & Execute | Files only |
If you wanted to allow the CreateOnlyGroup to then be able to modify the files that they created but not ones that they didn’t, just change the CREATER OWNER permissions to allow that.
