9.2 Understanding Test Users and Their Roles

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

As you can see, there are differences in their Home Folder and personal storage allocations (third column). Most have one or the other, but ablack has both and agray has no personal storage. We will briefly explore what this means in Section 9.3.1, My Files—Home Folders and Personal Storage.

Notice also that only the manager-level users (ared, ablue, and so on) have file system rights on the Windows server (fourth column). Nevertheless, the hands-on exercises require that files be accessed by internal and external users who do not have file system rights. We will explore how this is accomplished in the sharing sections, starting with Section 9.3.2, Internal Sharing.
