Network Folder Access or Sharing

Introduction

Network-based file storage is a common means of collaborating with colleagues and student employees.  Customized folder access is sometimes needed to protect data.

Benefits

• Access to FalconShare folders can be customized for a variety of situations which allow it to:
  • restrict the view of sensitive data to just those who need it
  • protect data from alteration but still allow access for modifications by a smaller group of individuals
  • provide work space for student employees to contribute without exposing the entire department's files to them
• Folder sharing can also be set up to allow people without a UWRF Falcon Account to access FalconShare spaces as well.  This access can be:
  • password-protected
  • time-restricted

Service Level Agreement

• Once DoTS receives all needed information, FalconShare folder sharing is set up within three business days
