Create a share on a directory or disk. Using this function you can set
the share permission and user limit as well.
This action is typically used in a script that is intended to manage
existing user accounts and move user home directories. When you use Script Action: Copy directory
no share is created. When you want to share a directory, the Create
share action should be applied. A share is typically used to connect
to network data that should be available for a group of users.
