If this share is to be a hidden share, add a $ to the end of the share name. If you want the share to appear as a different name you can change it here. The default share name will be the folder name. Click the checkbox for “Share this folder”.Click the “Advanced Sharing” button to set up the share.Now that we have the desired permissions for the folder set, click on the “Sharing” tab.Click “Yes” on the following dialog box.We always want these permissions to propagate to subfolders, so we’ll click the checkbox for “Replace all child object…” at the bottom and then click “OK”. Verify that each group added has the correct permissions.We want to give this group full permissions, so click the “Full control” checkbox and then click the “OK” button.Verify that the correct group is listed and click “OK”.


Permissions should be granted to groups to reduce administrative overhead. NOTE: It is recommended that individual users are never granted permissions. Select the desired group from the list and click “OK”. First, we’ll add a group that will have read only access to the share.Click the “Find Now” button to obtain a list of users and groups.Click the “Select a principal” link at the top of the dialog box.Click the “Add” button to add permissions for additional groups. Note that the “Administrators” group still has “Full control” permission for the folder.Click “Remove all inherited permissions from this object”.

In order to ensure that only the desired users can access the folder, click the “Disable inheritance” button. By default, the folder will inherit the security settings from the parent folder.
