Is the data in openDentImages permission sensitive?

For complex topics that regular users would not be interested in. For power users and database administrators.

And, is the time date stamp sensitive as well? For a restore?

All workstations need to be able to read and write to the entire OpenDentImages share. Many operations within Open Dental will cause the workstation itself to automatically create an image (or document) within a specific patient's AtoZ folder. Without read/write permissions, this will most likely cause an error.

The date stamps don't matter to Open Dental. We simply display them to the user within our Images module for reference.

The computer doing a restore absolutely must have permissions to the share or it will not be able to restore the images backup that was made.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
