# Dataforth — Your Shared Drives Today (Plain Overview)

*Prepared by Arizona Computer Guru, 2026-06-10. A simple snapshot of the shared network drives as they are now — to read alongside our email about setting up department access.*

**Right now, every shared drive below is open to every employee** — anyone who logs in can open, change, or delete anything on all of them. The goal of this project is to give each department access to only what it needs, and to lock down the sensitive areas.

Below is what's on each drive today, so you can decide who should have access to what.

---

### Q: drive ("c-drive") — general company files
A bit of everything. Main areas: Documents, Manufacturing, Production Control, Shipping, SMT, Scanned Documents, Purchasing, and a number of personal/older folders.
**Sensitive folders here:** Payroll · OSHA 300 · OSHA Safety Training · Purchase Orders.

### T: drive ("e-drive") — engineering & manufacturing
Engineering and manufacturing files: ENGR, ECO's, FMEA, Manufacturing, Test Engineering, plus utilities.
**Sensitive folder here:** QuickBooks / accounting files (QBfiles).

### S: drive ("sage") — accounting / Sage ERP
Sage accounting system files, invoices, financial reports, and related tools.
**Sensitive — this is mostly Accounting/Finance data.**

### W: drive ("sales") — sales & marketing
Sales and marketing materials, contacts, RMAs, videos, shipping handoffs, and weekly updates.

### Y: drive ("archive") — engineering archive
Archived engineering data.

### B: drive ("Engineering") — main engineering data
The primary, large Engineering data store.

### itsvc — IT software & drivers
Software installers, printer/server drivers, and IT tools. **Used by IT.**

### X: drive ("webshare") — website / test-datasheet system
Files for the automated website datasheet system. **Mostly automated — IT/Engineering.**

**A note on cleanup:** the drives have collected a lot of old material over the years — duplicate folders, folders named "Do not use," and personal folders from former staff. As part of this we can tidy these up; we'll confirm with you before removing anything.

*(There is also a "test" drive used by the DOS test stations on the manufacturing floor. It has to stay as-is for those machines to work, so it isn't part of this access exercise.)*

*Technical permission details are kept separately in our internal records (`acl-audit-detail-2026-06-10.md`) and aren't needed to answer our questions.*
