You can set all permissions from one Aurora Edit machine. You need to set permissions
in three different places—in the V:\ directory, in Aurora Edit options, and in the Aurora
Edit bins.
You must log in as a Domain Administrator to set security permissions.
Setting Initial Shared Volume Permissions
This task assures a uniform starting point in setting volume permissions, essentially
setting the secure volume’s permissions to be identical to either an SNFS volume that
does not implement Windows Security, or a default NTFS volume.
If this is the first time security has been set on this SNFS volume, the default behavior
is that the Everyone group owns the volume, which essentially turns off all security.
To set shared volume permissions:
1. Open a cmd window, switch to the V: drive, and type the following
cacls V:\* /T /G
Everyone:F
.
2. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the V: drive and select
Properties
.
3. Click the
Security
tab.
4. If necessary, add the user
Everyone
and allow
Full Control.
5. Click
Advanced...
and check the box
Replace permission entries on all child objects
with entries shown here that apply to child objects.
6. Click
OK
and click
Yes
in response to the dialog
This will remove explicitly defined
permissions... Do you wish to continue?
7. Click the
Owner
tab.
8. Change the owner of the Media and VibrintAVFiles folders to
Administrator
.
9. Click
OK
to exit the Properties window.
Setting high-level shared volume permissions
You set the high-level shared volume permissions on the V:\ folders using Windows
Explorer.
You must be a Domain Administrator to perform this function.
First you add the group(s) to the drive and then set security permissions for that group.
For the folders that are inheriting permissions from the folder above it, you don’t need
to set them; they automatically use the permissions they inherit.
