Share folder Permissions - Just basic stuff

Once the folder is shared on network, all previous permissions need to be revised on the folder. The admin of machine where the folder is shared from doesn't even have permission once the folder is shared.

So 2 things need to be set under Sharing and Security tabs of folder.
Right click on folder and you see both these folders:

Sharing tab: Click on Share button. A window will open. Add the user and then on right column give necessary permissions to this newly added user.

Security tab: Click on Edit button. A window will open. Add the user and then on bottom pane, give necessary permissions to this newly added user.

There are many other things you can control hierarchical wise which you welcome to search on your own.


HTH.
