5.4.4.2. Changing the Group Membership
In local authentication mode, you can change which
users are members of each group at any time. When you
add a user to a group, that user immediately has access
to all the shared folders that the group is authorized to
access. However, if you remove a user from a group, the
change does not take effect until that user disconnects
from the shared folder or shuts down the computer.
For example, the user Alice might be a member of
both the Marketing and Executives groups. The Mar-
keting group might have read-only access to the Budget
shared folder, while the Executives group might have
read/write access. As a member of the Executives group,
Alice would have read/write access to that shared folder.
If Alice is currently connected to that shared folder and
you subsequently remove her from the Executives group,
she continues to have read/write access to that folder
until she disconnects or shuts down her computer. The
next time she connects, she continues to have access to
the shared folder (since she is still a member of the Mar-
keting group), but she is able to only view the files there;
she cannot add, modify, or delete files.

ship you want to change.

the Groups list, the adjacent Members list immedi-
ately reflects the changes you just made.
