Apple AppleShare 3.0 - Manual (Page 11)

You are the owner of the folder. You can control the access privileges of the
folder. (In some cases, is the named owner, allowing you to share
ownership with others.)
You are not the owner of the folder, but you have some access privileges to
it. You can open this folder. (You may have any combination of See Files, See
Folders, or Make Changes privileges.)
You do not have any access privileges to this folder so you cannot open it.
You only have the Make Changes privilege. You cannot open this folder, but
you can copy files and folders into it. This is often referred to as a "drop
folder."
Viewing icons within open folders
When you open a folder on a server, you can find out what access privileges
you do not have by looking at the slashed icons displayed under the title
bar.
Using the Get Privileges command
You can use the Get Privileges command in the Finder's File menu to review
the access privileges you have to shared volumes that other network users
have created. If you are running MultiFinder -- the version of the Macintosh
Finder that allows multiple programs to be open at once -- you can use this
command even when a you are running an application program.
However, if you are not running MultiFinder, you must use the Access
Privileges desk accessory located in the Apple menu. For more information
about the latter case, see the section "Using Access Privileges Without
MultiFinder" later in this chapter.
The Get Privileges command displays the name of the owner of a file server
volume. See "Setting Access Privileges" later in this chapter for information
about using the Get Privileges command to set privileges to folders that you
own.
To view your access privileges to folders owned by other network users,
follow these steps:
1. Select a folder on the file server.
2. Choose Get Privileges from the Finder's File menu.
The Access Privileges window appears. This window tells you what privileges
you have to the volume as well as who owns it and with what groups of users
it is shared.
Storing information on a file server
To store information in your own folders on a file server, follow these
steps:
1. Open the file server volume in which you want to create a folder.
2. Choose New Folder from the File menu.
