Define Windows ACL Privileges for Shared Folder
Windows Access Control List (ACL) is a list of privileges or permissions that determine specific access rights
under the Windows environment. This can help administrator define access control rules for an individual file or a
directory, and give different access rights for individual user or group.
Through Windows ACL, you can assign different privileges to local and domain users in the system. The
privileges apply to all file-related applications, such as FTP, File Station, NFS, AFP, WebDAV, etc.
