I think you can set up a group to be allowed to view the folder. Then just add people to the group. ---

If it is a server, are you using it in a Domain? Then just make a group in active directory, and add that group to the allowed users list for that folder. If you are not using a domain, then just create a new group locally and add users to it as needed. This can work with local and remote accounts. Cheers! -Niann ---

First off explicitly add your username to the list of users who have access and give yourself full control. Click apply then remove the everyone group then click apply. Then give the other person who needs access the amount of control they need. ---
