When you give a user a home folder on your server, the user can log in to his or her computer using the account information stored on the server. Because the user’s home folder is on the server, files the user saves are stored on the server.
If you haven’t done so, set up your server to host network accounts, and enable a shared home folder.
For information, see Host network accounts and Share files across devices.
Select Users in the Server app sidebar.
Double-click a user account.
To set up home folders for several users, hold down the Command key while selecting users, then click the Action pop-up menu , then choose Edit Users.
Choose a folder from the Home Folder pop-up menu, then click Done.
If the Home Folder pop-up menu doesn’t appear, you don’t have a shared home folder enabled.
If you choose Local Only, the user will have a home folder on the server.
