I have a network share that is several levels deep. For one particular folder, I would like to assign different rights than the default access that the shared folder is allowing. However this does not seem possible, as all of the child rights and inherited from the share rights. So if the share rights set the share to read-only can I not override the permissions in a child folder to allow write access?

Most Microsoft people will tell you that you should set your permissions correctly at the NTFS level and then open up your shares unless you have some really good reason for doing the permissions at the share level. There is a lot of flexibility in NTFS permissioning that should let you do whatever it is you need to do and having the files RW at the file system level is a big security hole if one of your employees manages to log on locally somehow.
