4.5 FILR-LAB Users and Roles

Table 4-1 lists eight users that have been synchronized from the OES 11 server to Filr.

As you can see, there are differences in their Home directory and personal storage allocations (third column). We will briefly explore these in Section 4.7.1, My Files—Home Directories and Personal Storage.

Only the manager-level users, such as red, blue, and so on, have file system rights on the OES 11 server (fourth column). However, the server contains files that need to be accessed by internal users, such as pink, green, and so on, who do not have file system rights. Some files also need to be reviewed by external users.

We will explore how Filr facilitates your organization’s review and input processes in Section 4.7.3, Internal Sharing and the sections that follow it.
