SUMMARY

Disk resources that are shared from the Windows NT command prompt (CMD.EXE) using the NET SHARE command are available by default to all users on the network if the Guest account is enabled.

The NET SHARE command has no available options for setting specific Share Permissions from the Windows NT command prompt. There is no way to limit access to a specific group or a specific user.

If permissions need to be specified for a share created with the NET SHARE command, they can be added in File Manager.
