Automated creation of user folder / folder redirection and permissions

hi all- i created users share , assigned permissions using following:  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649078.aspx.  change made use group instead of named "folderredirect" group.  did not have add , remove users folderredirect group / less administration. the folders getting created automatically , content (docs) copying should, finding user has permission root of folder , not subfolders copied up.  sure i'm missing painfully simple.  used ntfs permissions specified in article - used instead of folderredirect group. thanks hi,   had further @ initial post, if have followed technet article strictly, everyone group should have " list folder/read data " , " create folders/append data ", correct?   list folder allows viewing file names , subfolder names within root folder. read data allows viewing data in files in current folder. create folder/append data right allows everyone group members have proper permissions
