File Sharing: Users vs Everyone vs Staff
Hello all. I'm trying to set up file sharing on a home network with nobody getting any more access than they need. I am at a loss to find any info on the differences between "Users" and "Everyone".
For example, on just my Public Folder....
- when I Get Info on the public folder, the "Shared Folder" box is obviously checked. Under the permssions part there are three access levels...1)<my name> (Me) with Read & Write privs, 2) STAFF with Read only privs and 3) EVERYONE with Read only privs
- when I go to the "File Sharing" section of System Preferences, under "Shared Folders" there is <my name>'s Public Folder. Under "Users" for that folder are 1) <my name> with Read & Write privs, USERS with Read only privs and 3) EVERYONE with Read only privs.
These are all default settings as I have changed nothing yet.
My question is, who is included in each of the groups STAFF, USERS, and EVERYONE?
What are the differences between each?
I cannot find this info anywhere either here or at large on the web. Thanks for any help.
