File Shares

File shares include Windows network servers or computers containing shared folders and files that users can access through WorkPlace.

You can define a specific file system resource by typing a UNC path, or you can define an entire Windows domain:

• A specific file system resource can be an entire server, a shared folder, or a network folder.
• A file system resource can also reference a user’s personal folder on the network. This feature allows you to create a single shortcut on WorkPlace that dynamically references a personal folder for the current user.
• Defining an entire Windows domain gives authorized users access to all the network file resources within the domain.

The various options for defining a file system resource provide you with the flexibility to create a granular policy that controls access at the server, share, or folder level, or to create a more open policy that provides access to an entire domain.
