Apple AppleShare 3.0 - Manual (Page 14)

For example, if the Marketing folder allows read-only privileges and you
create a folder in it called Memos, then Memos, too, will allow read-only
privileges to other network users. In addition, you will be named the owner
of the folder and you will be given all privileges.
The result varies slightly with guest users. If a guest creates a new folder,
the name of the owner of the new folder is .
- When you click a folder's Change All Enclosed Folders checkbox, the folders
it contains inherit its privileges.
Clicking the Change All Enclosed Folders checkbox so that an "X" appears
causes all of the enclosed folders to inherit the privileges of this folder,
overriding any privileges set previously. However, any subfolders owned by
someone else are not affected by this.
Transferring folder ownership
You can transfer ownership of a folder that you own to another user or to a
registered group of users on the file server. However, once you do so, the
new owner can decide to restrict your access to that folder and the folders
within it at any time. Make sure that you have moved any important folders or
documents to another folder that you own.
1. Select a folder that you own on the file server.
2. Choose Get Privileges from the File menu.
3. Type the name of a registered user or group of users in the Owner text
box.
Type the name exactly as your network administrator registered it on the file
server.
4. Click Save.
5. Close the window.
The user or group assumes ownership immediately.
Guidelines for safeguarding your privacy on the network
AppleShare file service allows people to share and exchange information. Use
the following guidelines to keep your privacy intact:
- Set privileges appropriately.
Use access privilege settings to prevent others from modifying important
documents and from reading private ones.
- Change your password frequently.
Changing your password reduces the chances of someone guessing it and thereby
gaining the ability to see and make changes to folders to which you have
restricted access. Your network administrator may require you to change your
password at periodic intervals. See "Changing Your Password" earlier in this
chapter.
