Hi all,

Is it possible to setup NTFS permissions in Windows XP Professional over a
workgroup?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Yes - the NTFS permissions are local to the file system on the machine - it
has nothing to do with the "workgroup".
Those permissions will be applied based on the credentials of the user
accessing them - which in the case of a work group will be either some
passed local credentials or the guest account etc.

You cannot set permissions based on account only held on other machines in
the workgroup.

Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

Currently I am in a workgroup with five computers. When I share a folder all
the other users on the other four computers can access this folder. I want
to give access to two computers only regardless of the user logged on these
computers. It seems that is not doable.

Thanks again.

It's not doable. Central authentication is only available in a domain.
