Setting Access Privileges for Menu Items
For certain Finder menus, you can decide which menu items users can see. For Panels
workgroups, you can control items in the Apple menu, File menu, and Special menu. For
Restricted Finder workgroups, you can only control items in the Apple menu and the Special
menu. Finder workgroups do not have these restrictions.
To set privileges for menu items:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Workgroups, and then click Privileges.
2 Select a Panels or Restricted Finder workgroup in the Workgroups list.
3 Select each menu item you want workgroup members to be able to use, then click Save.
Sharing Information in Macintosh Manager
Macintosh Manager provides a number of ways to share information among users or
workgroups by using different types of shared folders. Most shared folders are created inside
the group documents volume. Some folders are created automatically, but others must be
created by the administrator.
Types of Shared Folders
m Workgroup shared folder
Only members of a single workgroup can use this folder. A workgroup shared folder is
automatically created when you set up a group documents volume.
m Global shared folder
Members of all workgroups whose workgroup folder is on the same volume can access
this folder, allowing documents to be shared between workgroups. A global shared folder
is automatically created when you select a group documents volume.
m Workgroup hand-in folder
Hand-in folders must be set up manually and are available only to Panels and Restricted
Finder workgroups. The hand-in folder is stored on the group documents volume. At
least one workgroup administrator or Macintosh Manager administrator must be a
member of the workgroup to use this feature because only an administrator can see items
in the hand-in folder.
Workgroup members put items into the folder by choosing Hand In from the File menu
(in the Panels environment) or by dragging the item to the hand-in folder (in the
Restricted Finder environment).
m Folder on the startup disk named __
A Macintosh Manager administrator can create a folder at the top level of the startup disk
and then allow users to open items stored in that folder. This type of folder is useful for
storing items that workgroup members need to access easily or frequently, such as clip art.
