The
SPD Server administrator needs to be familiar with the SPD Server psmgr utility. The server
uses its own layer of access controls that overlay Windows access permissions. Server
processes run in the context of a Windows user ID, and that user owns all of the resulting
SPD Server file resources that are created.
Each server user is given their own SPD Server user ID and password. The user ID
and password are needed to connect to SPD Server.
All resources that a user creates are owned by the user. A server user can access
only resources that the user created and resources that another server user grants
them access to via server Access Control Lists (ACLs). There also exists an Anonymous
user account that any server user can access with no password, and where all resources
that are created by the Anonymous user are accessible to any other server user.
