For any shared folder that appears in the Shared folders list or any USB disk, you can
change which users can access it and what level of access they have. (Shared folders that
are created as a result of creating Windows/Mac OS X users do not appear in the Shared
folders list and cannot be modified. These folders automatically provide only the
associated user with read/write access to that folder.)
assignments or access rights for the public folder.
When you add a user to the list of authorized users for a shared folder or USB disk, that
change takes effect immediately. However, if you remove a user from the list of
authorized users, or if you change the user's access rights, the change does not take effect
until that user disconnects from the shared folder or USB disk, or shuts down the
computer.
For example, the user Alice might have read/write access to the Budget shared folder. If
Alice is currently connected to that shared folder and you subsequently remove her from
the list of authorized users or change her access level to read-only, she will continue to
have read/write access to that folder until she disconnects or shuts down her computer.
The next time she connects, she will either not have access (if she was removed from the
list of authorized users), or she will be able to only view the files there (if her access level
was changed).
To change user access to shared folders and USB disks:
1. In the navigation bar, click Shared Folders.
2. In the Shared folders list, select the shared folder or USB disk whose user access you
want to change.
3. Click Assign Access.
4. If you selected a shared folder or a USB disk to which you previously assigned users,
go to step 5.
If you selected a USB disk to which you did not previously assign users, select the
type of user that you want to assign to this USB disk, and then click Next.
The operating system used by the user determines which option you should choose—
Windows/Mac OS X user (CIFS) or Linux/Other Mac user (NFS)
Note: Linux user and Mac users who are not using OS X access shared folders using
NFS. In this environment, access to shared folders is given to entire
computers, not to individual users of those computers. However, in Windows
and Mac OS X environments, each computer user can have individual access
to a shared folder.
The page that appears next varies, depending on what type of users can access the
shared folder you selected.
