Hello,

Just making sure I am not confused.

I have created shortcuts to a few departments share and placed it on a
common share called --> \\fs1\depts$. The departments shares have been
locked down (shares/security) and only allowed users of that department
access.

On the shortcuts created, I also locked down to allow only people that have
access to the shares.

shortcut security set
-------------------
* Read & execute
* Read

share security
-----------------
* Read & execute
* List Folder Contents
* Read


Question: the shortcut securites set are independent of actual securities
set on the shares? Just making sure. I have tested. Just want a
confirmation.

Yes, a shortcut is actually a file - a.lnk file. Whatever permissions to
apply to the shortcut apply to the file, not the share. Permissions on the
share are independent to those you apply to the actualy shortcut files...

Re: Setting security on shortcut


Thanks for your reply. I noticed if users logged in without the security
rights to the shortcut, the icon is white (thats what we want).
