Do not confuse user rights and NTFS permissions. User rights define actions that

users or groups are allowed to perform, such as logon locally, shutdown the com-

puter, and so on. Permissions (both NTFS and share) define a level of access that is

allowed for the user or group to an object, such as a file, folder, or printer.

Moreover, do not confuse NTFS and share permissions. NTFS permissions can be

applied only on NTFS volumes such as those in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and

Windows Server 2003, and apply to a user whether the resource is being accessed

interactively (at the local computer) or remotely (over the network). Share level

permissions can be applied on Windows 9x computers, as well and only apply to

resource access over the network.
