Creating a New Shared Folder
Note:
When you create a new user account on the admin web page rather than in the Macintosh
or Windows desktop application, a shared folder is not automatically created for the new
account. You must create the folder yourself. For instructions on how to do this, see the
Shared Folder Management
section
.
Note:
When the Macintosh and Windows desktop applications refer to a
user account,
what is
actually being referred to is a
shared folder
. So when you select a user account to
connect to from the list displayed in the desktop application, you’re actually selecting from
a list of shared folders, not from a list of user accounts.
A shared folder can be accessible to all users or can be limited to access only by users you
designate:
•
Public Access:
All users on your Central Axis may read and write to the shared
folder.
•
Limited Access:
You define a particular set of access privileges to control who may
access the folder and how they may work with the files stored in it.
To create a shared folder,
Step 1.
Click
Shared Folder Management
in the
Main Menu
or click the
Shared Folder
Management
icon at the top of the Central Axis admin web page.
The
Shared Folder Management
page opens:
