Group properies help..

[Eric Miller]

How can you define a group access rights. I created a new group for my
developer and I want to custom define thier acces rights to the system.

For instance, I have a dynamic compress hd create by the Admin and no other
group can access this drive, but I only want the users in my Development
group to have access. BUT, I don't wont to give Admin powers to my
developer.

Thus, bring me to this question on how to customize a group. In fact, how
do you find the detailed access rights information on any group. The
properties value of the group just shows who's in the group, but no
information how group it self is defined.

Are you talking about a standalone WinXP workstation (wanting to control
access to it at the console itself), or access to one across the network?
What version of XP? Home or Pro?

XP Pro x64 SP2

Actually let me re-phase that. I have a shared directory on my small
business network main pc (XP Pro x64). I really don't want it shared to
everyone except my developers.

In Win2K Pro I can give access right to certain users (Developers). I can't
find the same type of property interface w/the security tap that will allow
me to set the access rights to this drive on x64.

The share permissions are one thing - but the more important permissions are
the NTFS ones. I tend to leave the share permissions wide open, and control
access to the data via NTFS permissions. I also like to create shares as
hidden (e.g., C:\Data\Developers would be shared as
\\computername\developers$ ).

In Win2K Pro I can give access right to certain users (Developers). I
can't find the same type of property interface w/the security tap

Disable Simple File Sharing.

Lanwench, how do you set the NTFS permission on a file. Do you use win
explorer? Do you create a hidden share by putting a "$" at the end of the
path? and how do you disable "Simple File Sharing".

Thanks for your help!....

Lanwench, how do you set the NTFS permission on a file. Do you use
win explorer?
Yes.

Do you create a hidden share by putting a "$" at the
end of the path?

In the share properties, yes.

and how do you disable "Simple File Sharing".

In Win Explorer - tools | folder options | view ....untick the box. You can
do this only in XP Pro, not Home.

Thanks for your help!....
