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.
Right-click one of the files or folders, or choose the Action menu, and then choose Properties.

In the Owner section, choose the owner of the selected files and folders from the Owner drop-down menu.

Click the Permission tab, and select a user or group. Click Edit to open Permission Inspector.
Do any of the following in the Permission Editor window to manage ACL permissions for the file or folder:
1. User or group: Specify the user or group whose permissions you wish customize.
2. Inherit from: For view only. View the information here to see if the permission is inherited (from a parent folder) or explicit (shown as None).
3. Type: Choose Allow or Deny to grant or deny the permission to the user or group.
4. Apply to: If you are creating a permission entry for a folder, tick the checkboxes to apply the entry to this folder, the folders (or Child folders) or files (or Child files) in this folder, or all files and folders contained in this folder (or All descendants).
5. Administration: Tick Read permissions, Change permissions, or Take ownership to specify the user or group's access permission settings for the entry.
6. Read or Write: Tick the checkboxes in these sections to modify the user or group's permission settings for the file or folder.
Click OK.

Note: You are not allowed to edit the access privileges to files and subfolders in the photo shared folder here.
