Guest Bob Altman Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hi all, Why is that that when I log in as a non-privileged domain user I can't share out a folder? When I right-click on a folder, "Sharing and Security" is not one of the available menu items. And if I select "Properties" from the context menu, I have a Security tab, but not a Share tab. I know it's not a file protection thing, because I explicitly gave my account full access to the folder I want to share out. I'm guessing it's a policy of some sort, but I couldn't find it... TIA - Bob

Domain Users, as members of the local Users group only, cannot.

Is there some way I can grant my non-privileged user the requisite privlege without adding the account to the Power Users group (which would grant a whole bunch of privileges I don't want or need)? > Only local Power Users or Administrators (or specially configured > accounts) can create shares.
