Access to Network Shares
Network shares are virtual folders that map to an actual directory on the server.

Access to Files and Folders
If desired, you can assign the following access permissions to specific files and
folders on your Snap Server:
Full Access User/group has full access privileges.
Read Only User/group can only read the contents of the files or folders.
For example, you may have a network share open for full access by EVERYONE.
You can prevent certain files (or folders) from being overwritten by changing their
access rights from "Full Access" to "Read Only." You can also control access to
individual files (or folders) by adding users (or groups) with specific rights to the
list of who can access the files (or folders).
