To add clients and groups to the shared directory permissions list

1. Open Windows Explorer.
2. In the details pane, right-click the directory for which you want to add clients or group.
3. Click Sharing.
4. Click the NFS Sharing tab.
5. If the directory is not already shared, click Share this folder, and then, in the Share name box, type a name for the share.
6. Click Permissions, click Add, and then do one of the following:
7. • In the Names list, click the clients and groups you want to add, and then click Add.
   • Or, in the Add Names box, type the names of clients or groups you want to add, separating names in the list with a semicolon (;).
   • To see a list of the members of a group, in the Names list, click a group, click Members.
8. In the Type of Access list, click the type of access you want to allow the selected clients and groups.
9. Select Allow Root Access if you want a user identified as root to have access other than as an anonymous user. By default, the user identifier (UID) root user is coerced to the anonymous UID.
10. In the Encoding list, click the type of directory- and file-name encoding to be provided to the selected clients and groups.
11. To close the dialog box, click OK.
