users are automatically assigned to this folder and can create, modify, or delete files there (unless you
change the list of authorized users or their access rights as described in "Changing User Access to Shared
Folders" on page 59). In Active Directory authentication mode, you must manually assign users to this
folder in order to provide them with access.
