Sorry, no.

Even making a file "read-only" is akin to putting up a "No trespassing"
sign. Anybody can tear it down and march right in.

The real security is at the network permissions level and is implemented by
network admins. You might, however, ask for full-control rights on specific
folders. With those rights, you would have permission to determine who can
access the folders.

Does that help?
