Setting permissions for volumes and folders

Just as you set permissions on shared folders to control which users of x86-based computers have access to the folder, you control who can use Macintosh-accessible volumes by setting permissions. Permissions also control the kind of access granted to users. For example, permissions dictate which users can make changes to a folder and which ones can read the content of the folder but not alter it in any way.

Note

  • Macintosh files inherit the permissions set on folders; you cannot set permissions on files directly.
