6. What is the difference between the Delete permission and Delete Subfolder And

Files permission?

Lesson Summary

To assign or modify NTFS permissions for a file or a folder, you use the Security

tab of the Properties dialog box for the file or folder.

You can use the Advanced Security Settings dialog box to configure specific per-

missions for a user or group.

The current owner or any user with Full Control permission can assign the Full

Control standard permission or the Take Ownership special access permission to

another user account or group, allowing the user account or a member of the

group to take ownership. You cannot assign anyone ownership of a file or folder;

you can only give them permission to take ownership.

By default, subfolders and files inherit permissions that you assign to their parent

folder. To stop subfolders and files from inheriting permissions that you assign to

their parent folder, clear the Inherit From Parent The Permission Entries That

Apply To Child Objects check box in the Advanced Security Settings dialog box.

Take the time to properly plan NTFS permissions following best-practice guide-

lines. A well-planned permission structure is easier to administer and causes fewer

problems.
