5.4.4.2. Changing the Group Membership
In local authentication mode, you can change which
users are members of each group at any time. When you
add a user to a group, that user immediately has access
to all the shared folders that the group is authorized to
access. However, if you remove a user from a group, the

until she disconnects or shuts down her computer. The
next time she connects, she continues to have access to
the shared folder (since she is still a member of the Mar-
keting group), but she is able to only view the files there;
she cannot add, modify, or delete files.
