The incorrect assignment of user permissions is one of the most common reasons for improper system operation.

The SmartClass-Server folder must be shared with the following permissions:
| User Type | Permissions |
| Teacher | Read, Modify. |
| Students | Read, Modify. |
If you wish to make the shared folder invisible to users, you can use the “$” approach, however you cannot directly change the name of the database folder. Typically, system administrators will create a higher level directory folder for this purpose, and then include SmartClass-Server within this higher level folder (as shown below).
\\<server-name>\<higher-level-folder>$\SmartClass-Server
File names cannot include any SPACES (ASCII 32).
Provision is included within all SmartClass software modules to define the path to the database.
Note: that if you are configuring a system to operate with LDAP directory support, you must insert an LDAP\ folder in front of the SmartClass-Server folder.
