Is there a was to prevent moving/deleting a directory within a Samba share?

I have a samba share defined on the sharing server as:

Code:

[public]

path = /mnt/RAID/public



hide dot files = yes

hide files = /Outlook/outlook/~*/

readonly = no

locking = yes

public = yes

# writeable = yes

# browseable= yes

printable = no

create mask = 0660 

force user = ohprso

force group = ohprs

force create mode = 0660

directory mask = 2771

There are subdirectories under /mnt/RAID/public, e.g. /mnt/RAID/public/Staff/. Is there any way with the samba config to prevent these subdirectories from being moved off the samba share or otherwise deleted? Users still need access to create sub-sub folders which may be deleted or moved, e.g. /mnt/RAID/public/Staff/Jane/.

that is not the samba config, but the parent dir. Make that read only and that means the content cannot be deleted or moved.
