The Grant Access Wizard

The Grant Access wizard lets you grant access to one or more personal or public folders for a user or group of users.

You can show the Grant Access Wizard by pressing the Grant Access button in the Softalk Share Server administrator toolbar or by selecting Edit | Grant Access Wizard.

Press Next on the Welcome page. The next page shown is the Access For page. This page lets you specify which user or group you are going to grant access for.

If you wish to grant access for a specific user then select the User radio button and select the specific user from the drop down list. If you wish to grant access for a group of users, select the Group radio button and select the appropriate group from the corresponding drop down list. Press Next to continue. The next page shown is the Access level page.

Select the radio button corresponding to the appropriate access level and press Next. The next page shown is the Access To page.

This page lets you specify what folder or group of folders you are granting access to. If you select the Personal folder belonging to radio button, you must first select a user from the adjacent drop down list. The folder drop down list is then populated. You can select a specific folder from this list or you can select <All folders>, thus giving access to all the folders of the selected user. If you select the Public folder radio button, you can select a specific public folder from the adjacent drop down list. If you select the Group radio button, you can select a specific group from the adjacent drop down list. Doing this will enable the previously selected user or group to have the selected access to all the folders of all the people in this group. Pressing the Next button will show the summary page, which will describe the exact access that you are about to grant.

Press Finish to grant the access.
