On item 2, suggest you restrict non-SM to any file they are the Creator of. Otherwise there is too much potential for mischief on

If you do leave 2 as is, please make sure you change the modification and access dates so we can detect and backout any
malicious damage. In fact, please do that no matter how this turns out.
