shares can have different access permissions associated with each share.
Shares can be added and assigned the following permissions:
• Public — Anyone on the local area network will have read/write access (no username or
password required).

password required). If OneSystem is integrated with Active Directory, every user in Active
Directory will have access to the share (username and password required). In the user and
group permission settings read only or read/write access can be assigned to the share.
• Restricted — Only selected users and/or groups have access to the share (username and
password required). In the user and group permission settings read only or read/write access
