    SMB Permissions for shared folders

    Is there a way to set up a shared folder with permissions for the MFP to be able to modify the contents of the shared folder, and not allow other network users to access it?

    We always have to add 'everyone' in the shared folder permissions in order for the computer to allow the MFP to modify the folder contents. The problem is now that anyone else on the network can access the folder also. The computer does not see the MFP as a 'user' for which we can set security policies. Is there a way to make the computer think the MFP is a user so we can implement security policies? Maybe some other work-around?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks, I worked it out by adding other network users to the permission list and denying access to them (except the user whose destination folder it is). This allowed 'everyone' to still be specified so the MFP can still modify the file.
