To make and delete directories where? And why? Do you want them to be able to make directories but not files? Do you want them to be able to delete all directories or just ones they made? Should they be able to put files in the directories? Should they be able to remove non-empty direcoties?
I figured and fixed my problem. I needed to use chown to change the owner of certain directories instead of changing/giving permissions to a user.
