How do I set protection on a device

[caitsdeo]

I am installing a CD/RW drive to a NT 4.0 SP3 workstation. How do I set it up so only a selcet group of people can use the device locally and over the domain?

Hello caitsedo,<br><br>I don't know locally, but through a Network you simply have to set the properties of the shared directory (which here is a drive). Default autorisation is everybody can do everything. You have to remove this autorisation and set up our own (as for any NTFS file).<br><br>Hope it helps,<br><br>David Burg,

My bigest concern is that some people will use the CD/RW to copy music CD's. I did find from microsoft Tech Net an article, Q158457, that shows a way to hide any drive from the user. It mentions that it can disable access on a per user basis but doesn't explain how that is done. Anyone got more clues than I do about how to accomplish this?
