Figure 7: Nested Shares
1. Multiple Access Rights
While access to a Share can be assigned to only one (1) Group, it is possible for more than one (1) Group
to access a Share if nested Shares are used.
In the example above, if access to the shares "secret", "confidential", and "published" were assigned to the
groups "managers", "supervisors", and "staff" respectively, then all 3 groups would have access to the share
"published".
If an individual user were in 2 or more of these groups, they would receive the Least Restrictive access
permission.
