You can manage user accounts by going to Administrative Tools->Active Directory Users and Computers . Once you have the user accounts created, get your client PC (the one that is not the server) to join the domain .

(My Computer r->click->properties->computer name->change)

After that you can set permissions in two places, on the network share, and in the file system .

Just right click on any folder, and choose security . You can then add users or groups of users and set permission on all of them

Deny overrides allow, so be careful you don't take away permissions for yourself .

Hope this helps
