Modifying users permissions in a shared team folder in CentreStack has never been easier. In this tutorial I guide you through the process of how to add users to your share and give limited permissions to the contents of that folder. I also demonstrate user access and show you what messages the user receives as they attempt to access folders with and without permissions. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel and let other know how CentreStack can help them migrate their files and users to the cloud while maintaining the permissions and security features all ready in place in their Windows File Server.

In this tutorial I cover how to migrate a share from Windows Server 2016 Files and Users to a Windows Server 2012 r2 with CentreStack. To do this I create a new tenant in CentreStack and then jump over to the Server 2016 where I log-in to CentreStack as the tenant and download Windows Server Agent. With that client installed I instantly see any shares available on the Windows File system and can easily migrate those shares to the cloud. Please Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and give this video a thumbs-up if it was helpful.
