I was recently appointed to be the admin for my school's publications lab. One of my first duties was to allow several new students access to the K:\Pub folder. I added them to the Publications group in Active Directory, but that didn't seem to work. Looking at the Security Properties on the K:\Pub folder, the Publications group has full permissions (except "Special permissions") on that folder.
I'm new to Windows administration (what little admin experience I have is with Linux), so I think I could be missing something rather obvious. Any help for this new admin would be very much appreciated.

Have the users logged off of the domain and logged back on since the time you added them to the group? A user's access\security token is generated at logon and changes to this token (group membership changes) only take affect when a new token is generated at logon.
