Setting a Shared Folder and Access Permissions (Windows Vista)

Return to Overview

Once you create the account on your computer, create a shared folder. Add the created account to the shared folder as a user who is permitted to access that folder. Set the permission which allows the user to access the folders as well.


About access permissions

If "Access permissions" are granted to users who are registered to computers, they are authorized to operate folders and files.
There are two types of access permissions:

  • Network-level access permission

This is to control users who access the shared folder over the network.

  • Local-level access permission

This is to control access to folders by users who are logged on to the computer.
The local-level access permission can be set only when the drive in which folders are located is formatted in NTFS.

The [File Sharing] dialog box is used to set up the access permissions. The network-level and local-level access permissions for a user will be set simultaneously when you select a permission level in the [File Sharing] dialog box.

It is recommended to create the folder in a place where users can find it easily, such as the first level in C drive.
