Unsharing Folders

When a folder should no longer be shared, you can remove sharing by initiating the UnshareFolderMUlti workflow. This topic demonstrates how to stop sharing folders in EmpowerID and is divided into the following activities:

Prerequisites: Before you can stop sharing a shared folder in EmpowerID, the following prerequisites need to be met:
  • EmpowerID must first be connected to Active Directory. For the details, see Connecting to Active Directory.
  • After EmpowerID is connected to Active Directory, a Windows File Server within that directory must be added to EmpowerID as a managed resource system. For the details, see Adding Windows File Servers.
