type in the URL and see whether you can access it.
• For file share access, pick a file that you have access to, open a Windows File Explorer and see
whether you can access the file.
2. Choose a URL to which you do not have access and verify that you do not have access.
• For web site content, pick a URL on the content server that you have access to. Open a browser,
type in the URL and see whether you can access it.
• For file share access, pick a file that you have access to, open a Windows File Explorer and see
