8-16 Chapter 8 Securing Resources with NTFS Permissions
Complete the following six exercises, and answer any questions that are asked. You
can find answers to these questions in the “Questions and Answers” section at the end
of this chapter.
Exercise 1: Preparing for This Practice
To prepare for subsequent exercises, log on with an account that is a member of the
Administrators group and create the Limited users listed in the following table.
User Account Type
User81 Limited
User82 Limited
User83 Limited
User84 Limited
Create the following folders:
■ C:\Public
■ C:\Public\Library
Exercise 2: Determining the Default NTFS Permissions for a Folder
In this exercise, you determine the default NTFS permissions for the newly created
Public folder located on a computer running Windows XP Professional in a workgroup
environment.
1. Log on with a user account that is a member of the Administrators group.
2. On the Start menu, right-click My Computer, and then click Explore.
3. Expand Local Disk (C:), right-click the Public folder, and then click Properties.
4. In the Public Properties dialog box, on the Security tab, note the default groups
and users that have permissions for the Public folder.
Tip If you do not see a Security tab, there are two things to check: Is your partition formatted
as NTFS or FAT? Only NTFS partitions use NTFS permissions, so only NTFS partitions have
a Security tab. Are you using Simple File Sharing? Click Cancel to close the Public Properties
dialog box. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. In the Folder Options dialog box, click
View. Under Advanced Settings, clear the Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) check box
and click OK. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 and continue with this practice.
5. Click each user and group in the Group Or User Names list, noting the default permissions
assigned to each.
