Setting access privileges to folders and disks

You can set access privileges for shared items on your own computer and for items that you own on other computers.

1.Select a folder or disk.

2.Choose Sharing from the File menu.

The dialog box you see may be slightly different from the one pictured.

nIf you’ve selected a folder inside a shared folder, the checkbox at the top is labeled “Same as enclosing folder.”

nIf you’ve selected a folder on another computer, the Owner and User/Group areas are text boxes, not pop-up menus.

nIf you’ve selected a folder you do not own, all the checkboxes and their labels are dimmed.

3.Choose a registered user or group to share the item with.

Choose from the list of users and groups in the pop-up menu, or type the name of a registered user or group in the box.

4.To set access privileges, click the appropriate checkbox.

n To set the same privileges for the folders within this folder or disk, place an X in the box labeled “Make all currently enclosed folders like this one.” If you’re working with an item that contains a large number of folders, such as a CD- ROM disc, this action may take a few minutes to complete.

n To prevent the folder from being changed, place an X

in the box labeled “Can’t be moved, renamed, or deleted.” If you check this box, no one—not even you—can change the folder. (The folder can still be viewed and copied.)

n If you want the folder to have the same privileges that the folder or disk enclosing it has, place an X in the checkbox labeled “Same as enclosing folder.” This box only appears for folders inside shared folders. When you move such a folder to another folder, its access privileges change automatically to reflect those of the enclosing folder.

5.When you’re finished setting access privileges, close the Sharing dialog box and then click Save in the dialog box.
