COPYING AND MOVING FOLDERS TO CREATE A FOLDER WHILE LOGGED ON AS A USE...

2. Your boss stops by and says, “Whoops, here is the other table I meant to give

you.” The table shows the permissions assigned to the Accounting group for the

Brochures folder. A user named Yvette is a member the Sales, Marketing, and

Accounting groups.

Permissions Assignments for Accounting Group

Permission Allow Deny

Full Control

Read & Execute

List Folder Contents X

Read X

Write X

Based on the information in all the tables that you received, what are Yvette’s

effective permissions on the Brochures folder?

To determine Yvette’s effective permissions, you must combine all the permissions that have

been granted. Yvette’s cumulative granted permissions are Read & Execute, List Folder Con-

tents, and Read. You must then apply any denied permissions. Based on membership in the

Accounting group, Yvette is denied the List Folder Contents and Write permissions. Denying the

List Folder Contents permission effectively denies the Read & Execute permission (because

Read & Execute depends on List Folder Contents). This results in effective permissions of Read

for Yvette.

9 Administering Shared

Folders

Exam Objectives in this Chapter:

Manage and troubleshoot access to shared folders.

Create and remove shared folders.

Control access to shared folders by using permissions.

Why This Chapter Matters

In Chapter 8, “Securing Resources with NTFS Permissions,” you learned about

NTFS File System permissions for Microsoft Windows XP Professional. You use

NTFS permissions to specify which users and groups are allowed to access files

and folders and how NTFS permissions control what users are allowed to do with

the contents of the file or folder. Remember that NTFS permissions are available

only on NTFS volumes and that NTFS security is in effect whether a user gains

access to the file or folder at the local computer or over the network.

In this chapter, you will learn how to share folders and make the folders accessi-

ble over the network. You access a computer’s folders and their contents by first

sharing the folders, and then accessing the folders across the network from a

remote computer. Shared folders provide a way to restrict access to file resources

that are located on file allocation table (FAT) or FAT32 partitions. In this chapter,

you will learn how to share folders and how to restrict access to shared folders

by using permissions.
