5 Select “Share this item and its contents.”
If “Share this item and its contents” is unavailable, the item may be inside a share point. Press
the Privileges button and choose Show Disks & Shared Items to see if the item is already in a
share point.
6 Set access privileges to the share point for the Everyone category.
As the owner of the server computer, you are the default owner of all volumes and the
folders the volumes contain. By default, the owner has Read & Write access privileges.
The Everyone category includes everyone listed in the Users & Groups List and the guest
user account. Following are brief descriptions of each privilege:
m Read & Write: Allows users to see, open, and copy files and make changes to the contents
of the share point (including creating, deleting, moving, and modifying files), or open
shared applications.
m Read Only: Allows users to see, open, and copy files, or open shared applications.
m Write Only: Allows users to change the contents of the share point by moving files and
folders into it, but not to see files or folders. A folder with the Write Only privilege is also
known as a drop box.
Note: You should not assign Write Only access privileges to a share point. Only folders
inside a share point should be assigned Write Only access privileges. Otherwise users
won’t be able to see the name of the drop box.
m None: Users have no access to the folder or files of this share point.
Later you can further restrict access to this share point by selecting a user or group that will
have different privileges, or you can set different privileges for certain folders. You can learn
more about access privileges and related topics in the Privileges section of AppleShare IP
Help.
7 Close the Access Privileges window and click Save.
Setting Access Privileges to the Web Folder
To use Web services, you need to start file services and define the access privileges you want
users to have to the Web folder. To make sure no one alters the contents of your Web site,
you should assign Read Only access privileges to the Everyone category for the Web folder
share point.
By default, the Web folder is named “Web Folder” and is located at the top level of your
server’s hard disk.
Note: If you want to put your Web files in another folder, use a different default Web page
name, or host multiple Web sites on your server, you need to perform additional steps. See
the Web Services section of AppleShare IP Help for more information.
