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).
Note: 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 individ-
ual access to a shared folder.
Note: If you created groups (as described in
perform this step with the Group Tab.
This tab will display all groups. For example, if you created a group named
Group1, and added User2 and User3 to that group, by default,
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.
5. When finished, click Apply.
Note: You can also click Cancel to negate the shared folder assignments or
Reset the current shared folder
