Set permissions on networked Macs

Question

I have a MacBook Pro networked with another Pro and a Mac Mini. Is there a way to give each machine read/write access to all files for moving, copying, etc. without having to set permissions for each file/folder? Thanks!

Hi GoCaps10,
Yes, you can control the permission with groups, to edit folser permission in powershell, please refer to the cmdlet "Get-ACL" and "Set-ACL":
$colRights = [System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights]"Read, Write"
$InheritanceFlag = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]::None
$PropagationFlag = [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]::None
$objType =[System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]::Allow
$objUser = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("wingroup\kenmyer")
$objACE = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule `
($objUser, $colRights, $InheritanceFlag, $PropagationFlag, $objType)
$objACL = Get-ACL "C:\Scripts\Test.ps1"
$objACL.AddAccessRule($objACE)
Set-ACL "C:\Scripts\Test.ps1" $objACL
Refer to:
