Offline files cache

[Andy White]

Sorry if this isn't in the correct group......

We are trying to setup offline files and folders for our laptop users.

we seem to have a problem that if multiple users use the same machine (ie
pool laptop) then when the offline files synchronize it synchronizes all
users files.

Is there a way around this. I have tested the primaryuser registry fix but
that doesn't get rid of the problem.

The facility will be used by senior managers and therefore some of the data
may be sensitive and we can't have the possibility of it being seen by other
people.

Thanks in advance

I believe that you need to assign a user "group" for managers and only grant
permission to those folders to administrators and managers. Be careful with
"Deny".
