View or Change Files/Folder's Permissions
With File Station, you can set access privileges to files and subfolders. This function is especially useful when you want to allow different groups of users to access different subfolders in a shared folder.
To allow users and groups to access files and subfolders:
-
Select the files and folders for which you want to set access privileges. (Press and hold Shift or Ctrl while making multiple selections.)
-
Right-click one of the files or folders, or choose the Action menu, and then choose Properties.
-
In the Owner & Group section, do the following:
-
Choose the owner of the selected files and folders from the Owner drop-down menu.
-
Choose the user group of the selected files and folders from the Group drop-down menu. list.
-
All the other users or groups not chosen here belong to the Others group.
- Click the Permission tab, and then tick the Read, Write and Execute checkboxes to allow or disallow Owner, Group, and Others to access the selected files and folders.
Note: When you set access privileges for multiple files, gray checkboxes (if any) mean the privileges they represent (such as owner's Read privilege) are inconsistent among the files, and the original privileges for each file will be preserved. You can tick those gray checkboxes (until they turn white) to make the access privileges consistent among all files.
-
If you want the settings to be applied to all of the subfolders, tick the Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files checkbox.
-
Click OK.
Note: You are not allowed to edit the access privileges to files and subfolders in the photo shared folder here.
