Share Folders on Win7-ULT32 with users SELECTIVELY
So, I decided to build a server because all NAS solutions are expensive if they're decent, and some of the decent ones (QNAP 439pro) USES the intel ICH10r !!! The one thing I do NOT have with my server solution is the ability to choose which users have access to which folders. The HomeGroup sharing is really cool; and things like my media are ideal to give full read access to. However, I'd really like to be able to enable my friends to each have their own, password protected folders. Obviously, as the admin I could violate their privacy, but I'd like to be the only person they're all trusting.
I'm having a really hard time finding a way to give selective access. Am I retarded? Am i missing something?
Is the only way through homegroup or to just create user accounts? And if only through user accounts.. how do I restrict them from modifying (read/write as opposed to read only). Can multiple accounts be logged in simultaneously?
I do realize I'm kinda network clueless. Thanks for your help.. and even if its just to say you don't think I have a solution, please chime in.
