Configure the user and group accounts with appropriate access privileges
Configure the user and group accounts with appropriate access privileges
- In Sharing preferences, select the folder that's being shared.
- To add to the default user accounts and groups that were selected when you shared the folder, click the + (plus) icon below the "Users:" field.
- In the sheet that appears, select an existing user account or group (user accounts can be created in Accounts preferences, in System Preferences).
- Tip: You can click "New Person" to create a new Sharing Only user account or a user in your Address Book (also a "Sharing Only" user account). Enter a new password for the "Sharing Only" account when prompted.
- The default privilege for a user account or group you add is "Read Only". If you want to change this, from the "Read Only" pop-up menu choose one of the following privilege options:
- Read & Write - The user can read, copy, edit and delete the contents of the folder.
- Read Only - The user can only read and copy (to another location) the contents of the folder.
- Write Only (Drop Box) - The user can only copy content into the folder. The user can not see the contents of the drop box folder.
- Note: A "Write Only" user can overwrite items in the drop box folder, if what they drop into it has the same name as an item already in the drop box folder.
-
- No Access (groups only) = User accounts in this group will have no access to the folder. However if their user account is added, the privileges assigned to the user account will override their group restrictions.
- Repeat this process for each folder being shared.
