Shares not working?

Shares not working?

I have set up 2 users and on 1 folder have set the tick for only user A, and on the second folder user A and B are ticked (Read and Write) - now folder 1 needs to be visible and accessible only to user A, however for some reason once user B logs on he can view folder 1 - any ideas?

Re: Shares not working?

What about the Everyone checkbox, the Users checkbox and the Allow anonymous access checkbox?
Also have you set these permissions for the relevant file protocol?

Everyone is unchecked, as is allow anonymous access.

Re: Shares not working?

Can user B actually open the share and open and read folders and files within the share?

Re: Shares not working?

Have you tried to reset permissions
Configuration/shares/files and folders, then click the reset permissions button.

Did you create the users before or after the shares were populated with files?

Edit: and have you set automatic permissions when you set up the share?

I do not see a reset permissions button (RAIDiator 5.3.6) although have tried deselecting and setting again.

Yes I created users prior to populating the shares

Re: Shares not working?

Unfortunately I don't have your version of raidiator, but in the shares tab if you scroll down and select files and folders you should then see some sort of option to reset permissions, if a button then click it, if a checkbox then apply it.
After you have done this then check you user access again
When you set up the shares, did you select automatic permissions?
