Administrator Instructions for Admin Share

Last Update: 11/15/05

Screen Capture
1. Find the Admin Tools. This can usually be done by clicking the Start button and then selecting Administrative Tools under (All) Programs. Click on Active Directory Users and Computers. If you cannot locate the admin tools, please call the Helpdesk at 262-3536 for assistance.
Screen Capture
2. Double-click on uccs.edu. Double-click on Groups. Click on Department Server. Find your department share. You will see three groups. The first one with nothing following the share name is the Read Only group. The second one ends in Full. This is the Administrators group and should only have you in the group. The third group ends in RW. This is the Read-Write group of users that can read, edit, write, and delete files.
3a. If you want the new member to have RW access, Right-click on the third group and select Properties. Then continue with step 4 below.

7. When you'll added all the people you need, click the OK button and the people you've added can now access the department share.
