WebDAV: diffrerent users with ro and rw permissions?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to set up a WebDAV folder where I have one user that has read-write privileges, whil eanother user only has read-only priviliges.
Now whatever I try, the user thaz has read-only privileges is not able to mount the WebDAV.
Is it at all possible?
Thanks,

Hi MacLemon,
thanks for taling the time to respond to my post.
I have folders under /WebDAV that I want to share to customers read-only, while people from our company should have read/write access to them. In this example I created a folder named /WebDAV/apoBank and two users (local in OS X) named apoBank and apobankjvm. apoBank should only have read access while apobankjvm should have read/write access.
The permissions of the Folder I want to share via WebDAV are as following:
ls -l /WebDav/apoBank
drwxrwxrwx 12 www www 408 May 12 11:18 apoBank
Apache states the follwoing when invoked with -v:
mx:~ root# /usr/sbin/httpd -v
Server version: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin)
Server built: Aug 22 2005 04:48:24
This is the config for my virtual host:
