[SOLVED] Dilemma reguarding admin & file sharing.

Hi everyone,

I've recently taken up the role of a part time tech guy at a small business office(family's), and I'm not exactly computer network savvy so to say. I've been able to set up a basic network with a server and different security level user accounts.

The perdicament I'm running into is as follows:

-The boss wants to be able to see all the staff's documents and be able to access them with full control(read, write, execute etc...)

BUT

-The boss also doesn't want the staff's accounts to be able to install programs, change configurations in control panel, view unessecary websites and so on.


Now I've read up on this forum, and it's been VERY VERY helpful and I want to thank EVERYONE that posts up answers here, because I wouldn't know what to do w/o you, hahaha


****

I've been able to solve the internet browsing issue from another thread--I was able to disable all sites except for the ones business related and disable downloads and installations on their paticular account.




My issue is, how do I make it possible for the boss's computer to view the STAFF's documents without changing their accounts status to ADMINISTRATOR to prevent them from fiddling with the control panel / admin settings. (ie, printer driver, add/remove program, and basically anything in the control panel window)




Much thanks and appreciation ~
