Setting Permissions for user based access on the storage media on Lan
-
Hello, I am looking for the methodology to develop the program (preferably webservice) to allow the multiple users on the LAN , to have the certain permission based access on the storage media (like westren digital mybook that connects to the usb port of the computer) , so that every user has a purticular quota on the storage media and no body else can access their folder as well. need some guidence in this regard.

So what's with the web service?? What's is it supposed to do?? This is normally done through proper use of NTFS permissions. And it's something that you just set once and forget about it. This is typcially done by LAN Administrators when they setup a new user ID. A directory is also created in a share that houses everyones home directories, then the NTFS permissions are set to allow only that user and the administrators access to it.

NTFS permissions are still set the same way, domain or no. Your problem is that in a workgroup setup, each machine maintains it's own set of accounts and no machine trusts the accounts of another. So... I still have no idea what a web service has to do with this or what you're ultimately trying to accomplish. Your description doesn't make much sense.
