Making Items Available to Individual Users
In some cases, you may want to make specific documents or applications available to
individual users. For example, a user working on a special video project may require a video-
editing application that other workgroup members don’t need.
To make items available to a specific user:
m Place the items in the user’s home directory.
Using Privileges Settings
Settings in the Privileges pane allow you to enable certain security measures, control access
privileges for workgroup folders, and set options to allow users to take screen shots, play
audio CDs, and open items on removable media. Available privilege settings vary depending
upon the type of workgroup selected in the Workgroups list. If you have more than one type
of workgroup selected when you make changes, you will be able to change only those
settings that the workgroups have in common.
Protecting the System Folder and Applications Folder
For Panels and Restricted Finder workgroups, these folders are always locked. Users can view
the contents, but cannot make changes. Finder workgroups do not automatically have these
folders protected, but you can set these restrictions.
To protect these folders:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Workgroups, and then click Privileges.
2 Select a Finder workgroup in the Workgroups list.
3 Click the checkboxes next to System Folder and Applications folder to protect them.
4 Click Save.
Protecting the User’s Desktop
You can prevent users from storing files or folders on the desktop and changing the desktop
pattern, icon arrangement, or other desktop settings.
To protect the desktop:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Workgroups, and then click Privileges.
2 Select a workgroup in the Workgroups list.
3 Click the checkbox to select “Lock the user’s desktop on the startup volume.”
4 Click Save.
