File Sharing and restricting between multiple users on multiple PC's
Hi,
My first post here.
My question is about how I can set permissions for the users on a network of 3 x computers that all have Windows 7 Home edition to share folders.
Here’s what I’ve got. Three computers, each have 2 x users. The 2 users are 1 x Manager (Admin rights) and 1 x employee (User rights). On one of the computers I have folders which I’d like to share (read / write) with the managers, whilst there are only a few that I’d like to share with the employees.
So basically I have all business data stored on “PC1” and I want the manager login on PC2 and PC3 to be able to view these folders. Restricted access for the employees.
Is there anyway I can do this ? I’ve been looking at Homegroups / Workgroups, but it seems I can either share with everyone or no-one.
If this is not possible, is there something I can do with an external hard drive or something else ? Or maybe I need a plan B ?
As a compromise, I’d be prepared to do “plan B”.
Plan B would be:
PC1 has only 1 x user (Manager) and has all the data for the business in several folders.
PC2 has only 1 x user (Manager) and has access to ALL the folders on PC1
PC3 has only 1 user (Employee) and has access to a limited number of folders on PC1.
How would I plan B ?
Thanks in advance,
Graeme
