 INHERITANCE

• Permission Inheritance (Volume, Folder, File)

• Overriding Other Permissions (File and Folder)

 COPYING SHARED FOLDERS
• When you copy a shared folder, the original
folder is still shared, but the copy is not.

• When you rename or move a shared folder, it

is no longer shared
 NTFS PERMISSIONS
• NTFS permissions are available only on NTFS volumes
and are used to specify which users and
groups can access files and folders and what these
users can do with the contents of those files
or folders.

• NTFS folder permissions are Read, Write, List Folder

Contents, Read & Execute, Modify, and Full Control.
 NTFS PERMISSIONS
• The NTFS file permissions are Read, Write, Read &
Execute, Modify, and Full Control.
• Administrators, the owners of files or folders, and
users with Full Control permission can assign
• NTFS permissions to users and groups to control
access to files and folders.
• NTFS stores an ACL, which contains a list of all user
accounts and groups that have been granted
access to the file or folder, as well as the type of
access that they have been granted, with
every file and folder on an NTFS volume.
 NTFS PERMISSIONS
• A user attempting to gain access to a resource
must have permission for the type of access that
is requested to gain access.
• You can assign multiple permissions to a user
account by assigning permissions to his or her
individual user account and to each group of
which the user is a member.
• NTFS file permissions take priority over NTFS
folder permissions.
• A user's effective permissions for a resource are
based on the NTFS permissions that you assign
to the individual user account and to all of the
groups to which the user belongs.
 SHARED FOLDER PERMISSIONS
Guidelines for Shared Folder Permissions
• Determine which groups need access to each
resource and the level of access that they require.
• Document the groups and their permissions for each
resource.
• Assign permissions to groups instead of user
accounts to simplify access administration
 Guidelines for Shared Folder
Permissions
• Assign to a resource the most restrictive
permissions that still allow users to perform
required tasks.
• For example, if users only need to read
information in a folder and they will never
delete or create files, assign the Read
permission.
 Guidelines for Shared Folder
Permissions
• Organize resources so that folders with the
same security requirements are located within
a folder.
• For example, if users require Read permission
for several application folders, store those
folders within the same folder. Then share this
folder instead of sharing each individual
application folder.
 Guidelines for Shared Folder
Permissions
• Use intuitive share names so that users can
easily recognize and locate resources.
•
• For example, for the Application folder, use
Apps for the share name. You should also use
share names that all client operating systems
can use.
