Hi all - OSX Tiger 10.4.6 - I'm having a bit of a problem getting to grips with setting folder permissions to get the results I want. I have set up a number of user accounts eg an admin account for setting things up but not used day to day my main user account account for the other half to use computer without messing up my stuff! a separate account for a community group I do stuff with a genealogy account for our family history stuff I don't have a problem with the general principle that each user has access to his own user folder plus the shared folder. But I want to be able to set up some other folders with selective access eg:
1) More folders like the shared folder that everyone can access and read/write to so that besides the overall shared I can have shared category folders. 2) Folders fully available to some users but not others (as we did in the old days of file sharing where we created groups of users and gave access to the relevant groups.) OSX seems to work on this principle but how do I set up a group comprising, say, 3 users so that I can set folder access to allow any of these three users full access but not the other (say, two) so not just give access to "Others". 3) I also seem to remember being able to set folder privileges to allow certain users to be able to read/write files in the folder but not be able to move/rename or delete the actual folder. How does one go about this in OSX. Mac "Help" does not seem to be too helpful here! I know this seems a bit obscure, but I'm hoping someone out there can help. TIA Neil -- Neil R.
