Folder permissions problem

[wijcc]

I have given one user (user x) full control permissions to a shared folder on a network folder, however that user is not able to add or remove permissions for other users to that folder. I have even made them the owner of the folder still makes no difference. I am an admin and can add, remove or change without any problems, i don't really want to make user x an admin.
Anyone know what is going wrong, what i need to check to rectify this problem please. The client OS is win 7 pro and the servers are a mix of win server 2008 r2 and server 2012 R2, the network folder is stored on a server 2012 r2.
Thanks in advance guys

If they haven't got network admin rights I don't think they can give permissions whilst the folder is on the server. You could try setting a shared folder up on the clients PC and see if they are able to give permissions then and get that folder to backup / mirror onto the server for backups.
