5. Select the user that you want to assign and/or change the access level. You may select
either the CIFS, NFS or GROUP tab. Although you can choose only one user type at
a time, you can assign multiple user types to the same shared folders.
6. Select the radio button for either RO (read only) or RW (read/write) access. You can
specify which users can access any shared folder or USB disk, as well as setting their
level of access.
Allow selected users to
access to the shared folder
or USB disk
Unassign user access
For any shared folder or USB disk, you can specify which users can access it and what
level of access they have.
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.
Notes:
•
Linux users 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.
•
If you created groups, as described in
perform this step with the Group Tab.
This tab displays all groups. For example, if you created a group named Group1, and
added User2 and User3 to that group, by default, none of them will be assigned the
access to the shared folder.
Select Group1 and click RO (Read-Only). User2 and User3 are not assigned the
access. This allows you to specify unique access rights for those users. You could
select User3 and click RW (Read/Write). This would mean that everyone in Group1
would have read-only access to the shared folder except User3, who would have read/
write access to it.
