__VFS Linking__\\
This allows you to take a VFS configured on other users, and have it merged into the current user. So you may have defined certain folder access on template type users, and you can make other users use those VFS settings. Any changes made to the original user's VFS are then applied to users who are linked to that VFS.\\
This allows not just linking in one VFS, but multiple VFSs. This is a different concept from inheritance as inheritance replaces the user's VFS with another user's VFS. VFS linking lets you have a custom VFS for the user, plus add in other items from other VFSs.

__An example:__\\
user1 inherits from group1.
user2 inherits from group1 and group2.
group1 has basefolder, which has various items in it.
group2 has folder2 which has various folders in it.
When user1 or user2 logs in, you want them to see the contents of basefolder and the contents of folder2...at their root level.
What you do is on group1, you add basefolder to the user's VFS. Then right click and virtually rename it and call it "user_home". Set permissions on that. You set group1 to have VFS linking back to group1. (Circular VFS link.)
Now on group2, you add folder2 to the user's VFS and virtually rename it to be called "user_home". Set permissions on that. You set group2 to have VFS linking to group2. (Circular VFS link.)
When user 1 inherits from group1, they get the VFS linking telling hem to link to group1's VFS...therefore getting user_home folder.
When user2 inherits from group1 and group2, they get the VFS linking telling hem to link to group1's VFS and group2's VFS...therefore getting user_home folder...twice, merged together. This is called VFS colliding. You collided two different VFS's together to make one merged VFS for the folder named "user_home".
When either user logs in, at their / folder they are seeing the contents of "user_home".
