Assigning users to shared folders
For any shared folder or external disk, you can specify which users can
access it and what level of access they have.
When you add a user to the list of authorized users for a shared folder
or external disk, that change takes effect immediately. However, if you
remove a user from the list of authorized users, or if you change the
user’s access rights, the change does not take effect until that user
disconnects from the shared folder or external disk, or shuts down the
computer.
For example, the user Alice might have read/write access to the Budget
shared folder. If Alice is currently connected to that shared folder and
you subsequently remove her from the list of authorized users or
change her access level to read-only, she will continue to have read/
write access to that folder until she disconnects or shuts down her
computer. The next time she connects, she will either not have access
(if she was removed from the list of authorized users), or she will be
able to only view the files there (if her access level was changed).
To change user access to shared folders and external disk:
1 In the navigation bar, click Shared Folders.
2 In the left pane, click Shared Assignments.
3 In the Shared folders list, select the shared folder or external disk
whose user access you want to change.
4 Click Assign Access. The Shared Folders page displays listing users
and groups.
5 Select the user that you want to assign and/or change the access
level.
The operating system used by the user determines which option
you should choose—Windows/Mac OS X user (CIFS) or Linux/Other
Mac user (NFS).
