Managing levels of access to shares and to files

You can use Simple File Sharing to configure five levels of access to shares and files:

·         Level 1: My Documents (Private)

·         Level 2: My Documents (Default)

·         Level 3: Files in shared documents available to local users

·         Level 4: Shared Files on the Network (Readable by Everyone)

·         Level 5: Shared Files on the Network (Readable and Writable by Everyone)

Notes

·         By default, files that are stored in "My Documents" are at Level 2.

·         Levels 1, 2, and 3 folders are available only to a user who is logging on locally. Users who log on locally include a user who logs on to a Windows XP Professional-based computer from a Remote Desktop (RDP) session.

·         Levels 4 and 5 folders are available to users who log on locally and remote users from the network.
