Managing Shares, Groups, and Users
This section has additional information to assist the Barricade Administrator in
managing and controlling access to the Barricade.
Terminology
♦
A Share is a folder on the Barricade which can be accessed by client PCs on the
LAN. Only the Administrator can create Shares.
♦
Access Rights (Read-only or Read-Write) are permissions to use a Share.
Access Rights are granted to a Group (group of users), rather than to individual
users.
♦
Each Share can only be accessed by a single Group.
♦
A Group can have access to many Shares.
♦
Each individual User can belong to many Groups.
Special Shares, Users and Groups
When delivered, the Barricade will have the following shares, groups and users.
These cannot be deleted, and only limited modifications may be performed.
