TOPIC

    Limited and Panels users cannot access the Scrapbook or Notepad, even when given access to those applications. This article lists options that allow users to have an individual Notepad or Scrapbook, or share a single global Notepad or Scrapbook.


DISCUSSION

    For each user to have an individual Notepad or Scrapbook

      1. Make a copy of the Notepad File or Scrapbook File (located in the System Folder).

      2. Place the copy where the user can access it, such as the user's Documents folder.


    Note: This solution may increase network traffic for Mac OS 9 clients because they access the Notepad or Scrapbook from the server.

    For all users to share a single global Notepad or Scrapbook

    Method 1


      1. Place a copy of the Notepad File or Scrapbook File where all users have access, such as the Shared Documents folder. This may also increase network traffic for Mac OS 9 clients.

    Method 2

      1. Place the Notepad file or Scrapbook file in the Special Folder.

      2. Make sure that the users are allowed Read/Write access to this Special Folder from the Workgroups: Privileges window in Macintosh Manager Admin.


    Note: With this configuration there is no increased network traffic, but there will be a folder on a local workstation that users have read/write access to, and may bypass a disk quota if they save files into this Special Folder.
