Share Access Restriction. If you wish to limit share access to particular users and/or groups, you can enter their names in the Read-only users, Read-only groups, Write-enabled users, and Write-enabled group fields. The names must be valid accounts, either on the network storage or on the domain controller. Note that access control differs slightly from service to service.

For instance, if you wish to allow read-only access to all and read/write access only user fred and group engr, you would set the following:

Default: Read-only

Write-enabled users: fred

Write-enabled groups: engr

If you wish to limit this access only to hosts 192.168.2.101 and 192.168.2.102, set the following:

Default: Read-only

Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102

Write-enabled users: fred

Write-enabled groups: engr

If you wish to specify some users and groups for read-only access and some for read/write access, and disallow all other users and groups, enter the following:

Default: Disabled

Hosts allowed access: 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102

Read-only users: mary, joe
