It sounds like the R drive is going to be just like the rights assigned to a Users Home Directory. Just curious if you already have a home directory set up for each user? Thanks, Tricia

I assume you have administrative rights on the server.

Using the My Network Places Desktop Icon select the drive you wish to manage rights on.

Right click on a top level folder and select properties, then the netware rights tab.

find the top level folder where all rights were assigned and remove rights.

then go to each users individual folder ie. john doe
right click select properties and netware rights tab select the appropriate user in the tree select add. Then assign their rights.

this is one way of many to accomplish your task.
If I can assist in any further mannor let me know.







The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it.
