How do I show different files to different users on the same filesystem?


In Windows, a filesystem is expected to present the same files, directories, metadata, etc. to all users and processes. You cannot expose different sets of such information based on who is accessing your virtual drive; doing so is very likely to cause serious problems.

What you can do, however, is one of the following:

  • Enforce different access restrictions based on who's accessing a file, directory, etc.
  • Use multiple instances of the CBFS component to create different virtual drives for each user.
