This is more of an operating system question than a LabVIEW question since LabVIEW doesn't control this. Folder security is handled by the operating system. Thus, you need to set the folder's permissions based on user accounts and/or groups.

Hi treasure,

smercurio_fc is right that the folder security is defined by the OS and set up with permissions instead of passwords. If you want to modify permissions pragmatically, you should be able do this by using the System Exec.vi to run a Windows system command, and it looks like the command cacls is capable of doing what you need.
