How to create a shared folder for different groups?

[Guest Eric]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to create a shared folder for

different groups? For example, There are 3 departments, and I would like to

create 3 folders only to be accessed by its own department. However, Each

department has 5 staffs, I would like to assign access right to 5 specific

people under the same department. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to

do it under XP?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Just set the permissions to the groups on the folders, only members of

the group with permissioms will be able to acces the folders. Do you

now have different User Groups set up for the users?

You should create three groups, e.g. Accounting, Payroll, Engineering,

then populate each group with the appropriate staff. Now set the

permissions for these folders so that only the correct groups have access.

 

If unsure how to do this, ask your network administrator to assist

or click Start / Help, then look for help and tutorials on these subjects:

Groups, Permissions.

However this is a pain in the ass to administrate. This is much

easier if you switch to Domain based network vs a p2p network.

The amount of work involved in creating groups is the same

in a Domain model as in a Workgroup model. The big difference

in a Domain model is the central administration: After doing it

once, it applies to all PCs in the domain.
