Limiting Access to Areas of Your Server
Restricting Access to a Directory (Path)
You can allow users in a group to read or run applications in directories, and its
subdirectories and files, that are controlled by an owner of the group. For example,
a project manager might update status information for a project team to review.
To limit access to a directory on the server, using the steps described for setting
access control for a server instance, you would:

Unselect Continue for the second and third lines and click Update.
