Multiple Access Rights

Access to a Share can be assigned to only 1 Group, but using nested Shares

may result in multiple groups being able to access a Share.
In the example above, if access to the shares "secret", "confidential", and "pub-
lished" were assigned to the groups "managers", "supervisors", and "staff"
respectively, then all 3 groups would have access to the share "published".

If an individual user is in 2 groups with different access rights, they would re-

ceive the Least Restrictive access permission.
