thx for your answer;
I did that but the other users don't have the authorisation to modify; I think it's an ACL problem, but I really don't know how to resolve this under Lion (not server).

Select the file, press cmd-i on the keyboard, scroll down to the bottom of the dialogue and click the padlock.
Enter your admin password, then change all the permissions to allow read and write.
You could also do the same thing with the Shared folder itself which should allow everyone to modify any file placed in the folder. Select the shared folder, and repeat the procedure above. Then, next to the padlock you should see a 'cog' icon with a drop down menu. Click the menu and choose 'apply to enclosed items' and 'OK' when the warning dialogue ('Are you sure? You cannot undo this action') comes up.

Aug 29, 2011 8:08 AM in response to luc1420by jsd2,What I do is keep a USB flash drive always plugged in, and use it for items that I want to share between user accounts. If you format it as Mac OS X (extended) then also do a Get Info and be sure that the checkbox for "ignore ownership on this volume" is checked.
When you use a disk volume with ownership disabled, it shouldn't matter how an item gets there - ithe item should always be writable by other users. I generally run Snow Leopard, but I think it should work the same way in Lion.
