Chapter 2 Setting Up Share Points 45
Editing ACEs
If you need change the settings of an access control entry (ACE) to allow or restrict
what a user or group can do in a share point, use the “Edit selected item” button in the
Access pane of the Sharing pane in Workgroup Manager.
To edit an ACE:
1 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
2 Click Share Points and select the share point.
3 Click Access.
4 Select the entry.
5 Click the “Edit selected item button” (button with a pencil icon below the list).

7 Select permissions in the Permissions list.
8 Click OK.
9 Click Save.
You can also edit an ACE’s Type and Permission fields by clicking the field and selecting
an option from the pop-up menu. The Permission field provides five options:
• Full Control—Selects all 17 permissions
• Read and Write—Selects only the Read and Write permissions
• Read—Selects only the Read permissions
• Write—Selects only the Write permissions
• Custom—Lets you specify the permissions you want to select (this is the equivalent
of clicking the “Edit selected item button”)
For more information about permissions and permission types, see “Access Control
Entries” on page 21.
