We use the following convention for the mapped drives:
- Drive P: for Personnel files. These files can not be accessed at all (viewed or changed) without logging in as personnel.
- Drive S: for Student files. These files can be changed by personnel but can be viewed without logging in.
To map the drives,
- Open My computer and click "Tools"
- Select "Map Network Drive".
- Select a drive letter as above and select \\ragnarok\Personnel or \\ragnarok\Students
- Click "Log in as different user"
- Enter Personnel as the user and the password you obtained from Carl.
