Step 1
Create groups and add users to each group. Assign permissions to files and folders so that each group has their own set of permissions when remotely accessing the files.
-
Step 2
Enable guest and sharing-only accounts. Guest accounts give users without permanent accounts and login details access to your network and files. These types of accounts can also restrict access to your computer's hard drive and applications.

Step 3
Use parental controls if children regularly utilize Leopard's file sharing capabilities. Switch the child's account from "Standard" to "Managed" and detail restrictions when managing account types.

Step 4
Assign separate .Mac usernames for each user of your computer. Family packs give numerous users their own .Mac email address, IDisk, website and information sync configuration.
-
Step 5
Make any folder sharable. Highlight a folder, choose "Get Info" in the Finder and check "Shared Folder" to allow other users to access the folder. Check the "Permissions" and "Sharing" option on the lower part of the window to know which users and groups have access to it.
-
Step 6
Opt to set unlimited Access Control List permissions or standard Posix permissions.
-
Step 7
Use the Sharing pane in "System Preferences" to see a shared folders list, add or remove folders and access pop-up menus to modify permissions.
-
Step 8
Dip into Leopard's address book to choose a user and allow him a sharing-only account that he can log into using his contact name.
-
Step 9
Share folders and files through File Transfer Protocol.
-
Step 10
Locate the screen-sharing feature in your Finder's sidebar to control remote access to your computer. Access "Computer Settings" to allow unauthenticated users to request permission to share your screen.

Step 11
Find the Directory Utility to enable the Unix root user and control Unix Network File System mounting.
