System 7: File Sharing Security

With System 7, guest access is automatically granted when File Sharing is activated.
If guest access is not your wish, you must take actioin to limit access to shared items.

1) To eliminate anonymous access:
Deactivate "Guest Access"

2) To grant access to specific individuals:
Use the "User and Group" Functions

3) In all cases, when designating shared items:
Immediately configure permissions for "owner," "group," and "everyone."

Please note: An "item" is at minimum a folder and at maximum a volume (which may consist of an entire hard drive).
