Setting Permissions in a Workgroup.

[Joe K]

I have a workgroup set up between three computers (no
domain). Each individuals logs into their local
machine. I would like to share files based upon their
log-in that they use on they workgroup computer. Is this
possible? If so, how do I reference the workgroup
computer/user when setting file permissions?

Thanks

There are no centralised account management facilities
in a workgroup environment. Every account has to be
defined on every PC in the workgroup. If you have three
PCs - PC1, PC2, PC3, and six people - A, B, C, D, E, F,
then you must set up an account for each person on
each PC. You must then set the access permissions
on each PC for every person.
