    Not an indesign question but have searched and searched but can't find an answer, hoping someone in here has had same problem and know if it can be fixed.

    Systems:

    MacPro running snow lepoard as the file server

    iMac reading and writing files to the Macpro given access to shared files.

    Problem:

    When the iMac saves any file types (indesign, illustrator, photoshop even just text files) or creates directories everything the iMac makes on the Macpro system is read only to the Macpro.

    Only solution so far has been to give the iMac user an admin account on the MacPro then everything they create is not read only.

    This works but its bad to have them accessing system files and what have you.

    Is there a way of making the iMac create files that are not read only without getting the server version of osx or giving them admin rights to the Macpro.

    Any idea or suggestions would be great

    Thank you

    Problem Solved!

    It all came down to Ownership not shareing or perrmissions.

    For anyone that might need to know:

    in the get info dialog select the “Ignore ownership on this volume”
