Setting file permissions

As the system administrator, you may need to restrict user access to certain files and resources. Keep in mind that there are multiple users accessing the host. Particularly in a load-balanced server environment, we recommend write-protecting system and application folders so that users are unable to save files on a local FH Web Edition server. Otherwise, the next time a user logs on to FH Web Edition and is routed to a different server, the files and folders are inaccessible.

You must use Windows Explorer to set the permissions for files on the server. By setting file permissions, you can restrict user access to applications, printers, and folders. File permissions can only be set on drives formatted with the Windows NT file system (NTFS). If you are using the FAT file system, you are unable to set permissions for specific files or restrict access to applications.

Tip: While in Windows Explorer, choose the Help button or press F1 for more information on setting file permissions.
