Thank you for the responses. I would just like clarification on two points.
If user jabrams has admin rights for a computer named Studio-C, and jabrams connects to Studio-C via AFP, jabrams will not see any public folders - only Macintosh HD, his own home folder, and any other locally mounted volume, correct?
If user jabrams has standard rights for a computer named Studio-C, and jabrams connects to Studio-C via AFP, jabrams will see all Public folders, but not any locally mounted volume, correct?
Thanks again,
-Jonathan
