Security - Shared Folders

Shared Folder

Setup:

Shared folders should be created to store data. Access to shared folders can be controlled via group and User permissions. By default a shared folder will allow access to all groups and users. Folders can be created in file formats for use by Windows, Mac, or both operating systems.

User Setup: Individual users and passwords should be created for each user that needs to access restricted shared folders. Once created, a user can specifically be given access to a shared folder or included in a group.

Group Setup:

To ease security administration, groups should be created for users to control shared folder access. Once a group has been created, settings on shared folders can be modified to limit access to a group or groups. Also, individual users can be added to the groups.
