Online Help: Network Topics: Limiting Access to Web Directories

On our existing web server DPALM a.k.a. Path1, if you have a drive mapped, here is how you can restrict access to a folder:

1. Map a drive (e.g., W: mapped to Path1\\jcorry)
2. Create a folder on that drive, place some files in it.
3. Right click on the folder, open the Properties.
4. Click on the security tab.
5. Click on the Permissions button.
6. Select IUSR_PATH1, then click the Remove button (IUSR_PATH1 access is required for unauthenticated web browsing).
7. At this point, only you and the system admins can see what is in the folder. If you point your web browser to the folder or any file therein, you will be asked to login to the server.
8. If you wish to give permission to one or more DPALM users to view your folder also:
   1. Open Properties: Security: Permissions
   2. Click the Add button
   3. Click the Show Users button
   4. Select the desired user, click the Add button, repeat for each user.
   5. At the bottom, set the Type of Access to the appropriate level (e.g., Read or Full-Control)
   6. Click OK, OK, OK.

This will work for all DPALM users. It does not provide for giving access to users outside our department.
