Minimum NTFS permission required to encrypt on remote server

$

As stated in the title...

What are the minimum required NTFS permissions on a shared folder on a server to allow a user from a remote PC to encrypt files in that folder?

Full or Modify?

We had a cryptlocker incident recently and while the infected PC I think tried to encrypt the files on the server it couldn't. Our users do not have admin rights on their PCs and could only have "Modify" as their highest possible permission on any server share.

I've found conflicting articles one stating you n "Modify" but another article stating the reason you got "Access Denied" was that you needed "Full Control"

I intend to test but to save time I thought I'd ask.

Thanks

RS
