1 . Changing the group membership
In local authentication mode, you can change which users are members of each
group
at any time. When you add a user to a group , that user immedia t ely has
access
to all the shared folders tha t the group is authorized to access. However , if
you remove a user from a group, the change does no t t ake effect until tha t user
disconnects
from the shared folder or shuts down the compu t er .
For example , the user Alice migh t be a member o f both t he Marketing and
Executives groups. The Marketing group migh t have read-only access to the
Budget shared folder , while the Executives group might have read/write access. As
a member of t he Executives group , Alice would have read/write access to that
shared
f older . If Alice is currently connected t o that shared folder and you
subsequently
remove her f rom the Executives group, she will continue to have
read/write
access to that folder until she disconnects or shuts down her compu t er .
The next time she connects , she will continue to have access to the shared folder
(since she is still a member of the Marketing group), but she will be able to only view
the
files there; she will not be able to add, modify , or delete any files.
To change the group membership:
1 . In the naviga t ion bar , click Users .
2 . In the le ft pane , click Groups .
3 . In the Groups list, select the group whose membership you wan t to change .
