48 Chapter 2 Setting Up Share Points
To determine user or group permissions to a file or folder:
1 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
2 Click All and select a file or a folder.
3 Click Access.
4 Choose “Show Effective Permission Inspector” from the Action menu (bottom right).
Note: In the inspector, all permissions and inheritance settings appear dimmed to
indicate that you can’t edit them.
5 Drag a user or group from the Users & Groups drawer to the “File/Folder name” field.
To open the drawer, click Users & Groups. If you don’t see a recently created user or
group, click Refresh. To change the autorefresh interval, choose Workgroup Manager >
Preferences and change the value of the “Auto-refresh Sharing every” field.
After dragging the user from the drawer, the inspector shows the permissions the user
or group has to the selected file or folder. A selected entry means that the user or
group has the indicated permission (equivalent to allow). A deselected entry means the
opposite (equivalent to deny).
6 Close the inspector window when done.
