Nested Shares and Access Rights
Anyone with access to one share automatically has access to every share
beneath it. You can not provide access to an outer share while preventing
access to an inner share (fi gure 1). You can, however, deny access to an upper
share by granting a group’s access only to the shares beneath it (fi gure 2).
Because of this, shares access fl ows down, but does not fl ow up. Your most
sensitive data should therefore be stored in the outermost or upper share, not
in the innermost share.

e Access Rights
While access to a share can be assigned to only one group, it is possible for
more than one group to access a share if nested shares are used.
For example, in fi gure 1, if access to the uppermost share is assigned to Group
1, and access to one of the folders beneath the uppermost share is assigned to
Group 2, Groups 1 and 2 will both have access to that second share as well
as all the shares beneath it.
