Shared Folder 
Setup:
Shared folders 
should be created 
to store data.  
Access to shared 
folders can be 
controlled via 
group and User 
permissions.  By 
default a shared 
folder will allow 
access to all 
groups and users.  
Folders can be 
created in file 
formats for use 
by Windows, Mac, 
or both operating 
systems. 
Group Setup:
To ease security administration, groups should be 
created for users to control shared folder access.  Once 
a group has been created, settings on shared folders 
can be modified to limit access to a group or groups.  
Also, individual users can be added to the groups.
 
User Setup:
Individual users 
and passwords 
should be created 
for each user that 
needs to access 
restricted shared 
folders.  Once 
created, a user can 
specifically be given 
access to a shared 
folder or included in 
a group.
