Guest users and drive access

[tjlmbklr]

Hello all-

I want to set up a guest user on my HTPC but can't figure out how to block their access to my drives where my personal files are while leaving them access to media that Kodi needs to run. The issue is my HTPC is also my personal PC. I use Kodi running Emby Server to play my media, that media resides on my D drive, the same place my personal docs and pictures are. I also have a F drive for backups and a J drive for overflow, both the F and J are USB and I could just disconnect them when they are here and I am not, but what about my internal D drive?

Can this be done and still allow Kodi to work on my Guest account without allowing them to access those drives?

Provided that I understand the situation correctly I think you should be working with Sharing.

Then look at/into Permissions.
