CREATE AN ADDITIONAL SHARE NAME FOR A FOLDER

9-21Lesson 2 Combining Shared Folder Permissions and NTFS Permissions■

You can apply NTFS permissions to files and subfolders in the shared folder. You

can apply different NTFS permissions to each file and subfolder contained in a

shared folder.

■

In addition to shared folder permissions, users must have NTFS permissions for

the files and subfolders contained in shared folders to access those files and sub-

folders. This is in contrast to FAT volumes, in which permissions for a shared

folder are the only permissions protecting files and subfolders in the shared folder.

■

When you combine shared folder permissions and NTFS permissions, the more

restrictive permission is always the overriding permission.

In Figure 9-8, the Users group has the shared folder Full Control permission for the

Public folder and the NTFS Read permission for FileA. The Everyone group’s effective

permission for FileA is the more restrictive Read permission. The effective permission

for FileB is Full Control because both the shared folder permission and the NTFS per-

mission allow this level of access.

Practice: Combining Permissions

Figure 9-9 shows examples of shared folders on NTFS volumes. These shared folders

contain subfolders that have also been assigned NTFS permissions. Determine a user’s

effective permissions for each example.
