We have a folder for employees to scan contracts to. After scanning, they're supposed to rename them according to our conventions so they can be processed further. In response to a recent incident, these folders have had their security locked down (they're granted write, but not modify, permission) and now they are unable to rename the files.
Is there a technical way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? From what I've read, I don't think this is possible.
If not, can you suggest any workarounds? One possibility is to set the name of the file as it's being scanned in. Another is to have a trusted person in management be given sufficient permissions to rename.

Apparently rename requires the delete permission. Alternatively, could you have the files be renamed before being placed in the required folder?
Another idea - perhaps a batch job could run that would rename files appropriately that could be run as a schedule task on the server with appropriate permissions.
