Personal Permissions

When logged on as a user, you can allow colleagues from other workgroups to access your files, and grant them two types of access privileges:

• Read
• Read and write

To allow a user from another workgroup to access your files:

1. Select Tools$>$User Accounts from the menu to display the "User Account" screen (see figure 3.4).
2. Press the 'Personal Permissions' button to display the permissions screen (see figure 3.7).

3. Select the user's workgroup from the 'Workgroup' combo box on the right hand side.
4. Click on the user's name and press the left arrow button to add the user to the 'Permitted to my documents' field.
5. Select the 'Write' check box if you want to grant the user write privileges to your documents. If you do not select this check box the user will only have reading privileges.
6. Press the 'Close' button when done.
