Managing Shares, Groups, and Users

This section has additional information to assist the Barricade Administrator in
managing and controlling access to the Barricade.

Terminology

A Share is a folder on the Barricade which can be accessed by client PCs on the

LAN. Only the Administrator can create Shares.

Access Rights (Read-only or Read-Write) are permissions to use a Share.

Access Rights are granted to a Group (group of users), rather than to individual
users.

Each Share can only be accessed by a single Group.

A Group can have access to many Shares.

Each individual User can belong to many Groups.

Special Shares, Users and Groups

When delivered, the Barricade will have the following shares, groups and users.
These cannot be deleted, and only limited modifications may be performed.

Shares & Folders

HDD1

This is the root folder. Backing up this share backs up all

data on the drive.

The administrator group ALWAYS has Read/Write access
to this share.

public share

By default, the everyone group has Read/Write access to

this folder. This can not be changed, so ALL users always
have Read/Write access to the public share.

This share can not be deleted.

spool folder

System folder, holding print jobs waiting to be printed.

This folder can be accessed via the Browse menu option.

Deleting a file cancels the corresponding print job.

Groups

everyone

This group cannot be deleted.

All users are members of this group, and cannot be re-

moved from this group.
