Setting File Permissions

As the system administrator, you may need to restrict user access to certain files and resources. Keep in mind that there are multiple users accessing the server.

Particularly in a Relay Server environment, it is recommended to write-protect your system and application folders so that users are unable to save files on a Webspace Server. Otherwise, the next time a user logs on to Webspace and is routed to a different server, the files and folders will be inaccessible.

You must use Windows Explorer to set the permissions for files on the server. By setting file permissions, you can restrict user access to applications, printers, and folders. Please note that file permissions can only be set on drives formatted with the Windows NT file system (NTFS). If you are using the FAT file system, you will be unable to set permissions for specific files or restrict access to applications.

Once an application's permissions have been set, you can assign specific parameters for the application with the Webspace Admin Console.
