How do the users access the computer? Local accounts or network/domain accounts? If the latter, can't you change the security on each folder and specify the user/users who have permission to access that particular folder?
Not sure how it would work if you did this for users who log in locally to a machine and accessed restricted folders. I suppose you could run a script on login that would map a particular person's drives depending on which user has just logged in?
the drives are just mapped on the machines.
example
SERVER
PC1
PC2
PC3
SERVER folders A, B & C are shared
PC1 1 user (admin as such) - access to folders A, B & C
PC2 1 user - access to folders A & B
PC3 1 user - access to folders A & C
this is my home environment. (admin) pc1 user being me.
ive tried adding security to the folder but im assuming the users its giving access is the server users not the PC users therefore (admin) cant access the folder either (unless remote desktoping into the server)
i know i can just map the specific folders on the machines but you can still access them easily by clicking the network section on my computer.
