If you want even more control over the use of your
shared resources across the network, you should also set NTFS security
permissions on the folder. Security permissions are similar to sharing
permissions, except that you get a longer list of permissions for each
group or user.
Here are the steps to follow to set security permissions on a shared folder:
1. | In
Windows Explorer, right-click the folder you want to work with, and
then click Properties to open the folder’s Properties dialog box.
|
2. | Select the Security tab.
|
3. | Click Edit to open the Permissions for Folder dialog box, where Folder is the name of the folder. As you can see in Figure 1, this dialog box is similar to the dialog box you saw earlier for sharing permissions (refer to Figure 2).
|
4. | To work with existing permissions, select the group or user you want to work with and skip to step 10.
|
5. | To add new permissions, click Add to display the Select Users or Groups dialog box.
|
6. | In
the Enter the Object Names to Select text box, type the name of the
user or users you want to give permission to access the shared resource
(separate multiple usernames with semicolons).
|
7. | Click OK to return to the Permissions dialog box.
|
8. | Select a user in the Group or User Names list.
|
9. | Using the Permissions list, use the check boxes in the Allow and Deny columns to allow or deny permissions.
|
10. | Repeat steps 5–9 to add and configure other users or groups.
|
11. | Click OK to return to the Security tab.
|
12. | Click OK to put the new security settings into effect. |
