Hi Colin,
No Access blocks all access to the item so that users can't open the
item, change its contents, or copy its contents.
But take note that changing permissions on a folder and all it's
contents to 'No Access' to others DOES NOT encrypt the contents of
the folder.
To change permissions for a disk, folder, or file:
1. Select the item you want to set permissions for, then choose File
> Get Info and click Ownership & Permissions, if necessary. If you
want to set permissions for multiple items at once, select them, and
as you hold down the Control key choose File > Get Summary Info.
2. Choose a permission for yourself from the pop-up menu. If the menu
is dimmed, you don't have permission to change this setting.
3. To change permissions for the owner, group, or others, click
Detail. If necessary, click the lock icon and, when prompted, enter
the name and password of an administrator user of your computer.
4.Choose permissions for each type of user from the Access pop-up menus.
Cheers,
