44 Chapter 2 Setting Up Share Points
Adding ACEs to ACLs
You control access to a share point by adding or removing access control entries (ACEs)
to the share point’s access control list (ACL). Each ACE defines the access permissions
for a user or a group.
To add an ACE to an ACL:

2 Click Share Points and select the share point.
3 Click Access.
4 Click Users & Groups to open the Users & Groups drawer.
5 Drag groups and users in the order you want them in the Access Control List.

By default, each new ACE gives the user or group full read permissions. In addition, the
four inheritance options are selected. To change ACE settings, see “Editing ACEs” on
page 45.
