Users and Shares
Shares
A Share is a directory that can be accessed by multiple Users.
When a Share is viewed in Windows Explorer, it will look just like
any Windows folder. However, when viewed in the
Administration System, the Share will exhibit distinctive
characteristics to help you distinguish it from others.
You can control which Users access a Share by using access
control rules. You only need to set up Users on the Network
Storage Server if you want to control the User’s access to a
specific Share.
Using Shares
The following examples show some likely scenarios about
why
and
how
you would set up a Share.
You want every User to be able to access and modify files
in a Share on the Network Storage Server.
Set up a public Share with
full access
, so that everyone can read
and write to it.
The company stores information that all employees need
to access regularly. This information is updated very rarely,
if ever.
Set up a
read only share
. This will enable all staff to read the
information, but will prevent any changes from being made to it.
