Command and Utility Summary
When you use net access, you must specify the devicename assigned to the
shared directory and the path of a resource. When you specify a drive (or
path) with net access, you get information about a resource’s current set of
permissions, as shown in the following example:
Resource Permissions Permissions
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D:\MASTERDIR
BILLRA:RWCXDAP *USERS:RWCDA
*CORPOP:RWCDA
This lists the resource you specified and gives a two-column list of
usernames and groupnames representing those who can use the resource.
Groupnames are marked with an asterisk (*). Following each username and
groupname is a list of the permissions assigned to the user or group.
You must have P permission for a resource to get information about it with
net access.
If you create a new file or directory and want to assign permissions to it, first
use the /add option to specify which users and groups have access. Be sure
to add yourself (with P permission), or you are denied subsequent access to
the new file or directory.
Use the /grant and /revoke options to add and cancel permissions for users
and groups. Use the /change option to change existing permissions for a
resource.
If you create a file in a directory with permissions, the new file inherits the
directory’s permissions. Use the net access command only if you want to
change the file’s permissions.
P (permissions) Assign or alter permissions for a resource. Your
administrator initially must give you this permission
for a resource. Once you have it, you can use
net access to assign permissions, including P
permission, to other users or groups. When you
create a new file or directory, be sure to assign
yourself P permission. Otherwise you are denied
further access to the file or directory you just created.
