When you grant a user access to a Net Folder, either individually or as a member of the group by using the Rights tab (see the explanation for Figure 10-4), then from a Filr perspective, the user has all rights to that folder. However, the target file system is the master controller of Net Folder access and limits the effective rights to one of four Net Folder Roles, as outlined in Section 4.4, Net Folder Access Involves Four Roles. |
|
The user must have file system trustee rights that allow the file to be viewed and accessed. For example, if the user has Read, Write, and File Scan rights to a file on an NSS volume, then the file is not only visible, but can, in theory, be modified. However, there’s one more part to the access equation. |
|
Files can have attributes that prevent them from being modified, such as Read Only. They might also be hidden, in which case they would not be visible to the Filr user. |
