User manual APPLE APPLESHARE 3.0

[. . . ] INTRODUCTION This introduction provides information to people who are new to AppleShare as well as to those who are not. The first section gives new AppleShare users an overview of the AppleShare services and features. If you've used previous versions of AppleShare, you can skip directly to the section "What's New in AppleShare 3. 0?" Also included in this chapter is a list of additional books for further information on AppleShare and networking. If you are using system software version 7. 0 or later, the procedures for using shared files are slightly different. [. . . ] In addition, the privileges allowed to other network users are the same as the privileges of the folder that contains it. For example, if you create a new folder within a folder that grants all privileges to members of the Marketing Department but only the See Folders and See Files privileges to Everyone, your new folder will have the same privilege settings. To change the privilege settings to your new folder, see the next section, "Setting Access Privileges. " Setting access privileges If you are a registered user and you create a new folder on a file server, you become, at least initially, the owner of the folder. As the owner, you set the access privileges to the folder and, if desired, transfer ownership to another network user. When you store information on a file server, consider how you want others to be able to access that information. If you are a guest user and you create a folder on the file server, the owner name of the folder automatically becomes <Any User>. This means that you must share ownership of the folder with all other network users. In addition, any registered user can claim ownership by changing the name of the owner of the folder. (For more information about claiming ownership of a folder, see the section "Transferring Folder Ownership" later in this chapter. ) 1. Select a folder that you own on the file server. Folders that you own have a darkened tab. Choose Get Privileges from the File menu. The Access Privileges window appears. When you own the selected folder, the window includes a grid of checkboxes for you to assign access privileges to it. Click the checkboxes of the privileges you want to assign. When an "X" appears in a checkbox, that privilege is allowed. To remove an "X, " click the checkbox. After you have made changes, if you want to revert to the access privileges originally set, click the Undo button. See the next section, "Access Privilege Choices, " for information about strategies for setting access privileges. To copy these privileges to all folders within the folder, click the Change All Enclosed Folders checkbox to place an "X" in it. Doing so causes all of the enclosed folders -- and the folders within them -- to have the same privileges as this folder. Close the window. Choose Close from the File menu or click the close box. Access privilege choices You can set access privileges in several ways to keep your folders private or to make them accessible where needed. The following examples are of frequently used configurations that may be useful to you. [. . . ] - Your network administrator has set a maximum number of users of this program and that maximum has been reached. - If the program is stored in a public folder, it may be in use. Many programs can only be opened by one user at a time. The folder you want doesn't appear in the directory. [. . . ]
