Changing Standard Permissions
You use Workgroup Manager to view and change the standard privileges for a share
point.
To change standard privileges for a share point:
1 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
2 Click Share Points and select the share point you want to update.
3 Click Access.
4 Change the owner and group of the shared item by typing names into those fields or
by dragging names from the Users & Groups drawer. You can open the drawer by
clicking “Users & Groups.”
5 Use the pop-up menus next to the fields to change the permissions for the Owner,
Group, and Everyone.
Everyone is any user who is not the owner and does not belong to the group but can
log in to the file server: other registered users and guests.
From the Command Line
You can also change a share point’s privileges using the chmod, chgrp, and chown
commands in Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter of the
command-line administration guide.
