- Single left click on the folder to make sure you're at the correct level.

- Select Properties
- Click on the Security tab
- Choose the Edit... button
- Choose the Add... button
- In the box marked "Enter the object names to select", type the name of user or group desired
- For example, on a Public folder, you could type "everyone"
- When looking for an individual user, you can type their username or attempt to search using the person's full name
- Consider using departmental groups where possible to reduce cleanup in the future. Speak with UT for details.
- Choose the Check Names... button
- If only one object is found, you will remain in that box and can choose the OK button
- If more than one object is found, another window will pop up with a list from which you should choose the desired user/group. Then click OK twice.
- Check the boxes in the Permissions list at the bottom for the permission(s) desired
- The defaults - Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read - are probably appropriate in most cases
- If you wish to collaborate with others, add Modify and Write
- Click Apply
- Click OK to close the Permissions window, and click OK again to close the Properties window
The U: drive can be accessed the same way as the F: drive. | Warning |
