9-24 Chapter 9 Administering Shared Folders
Lesson Summary
■ To combine shared folder and NTFS permissions, you should take the following
steps:
a. Calculate the NTFS effective permissions for the user.
b. Calculate the shared folder effective permissions for the user.
c. Analyze the results of steps 1 and 2, and select the result that is the more
restrictive of the two. This will be the user’s effective permission for the
shared folder.
■ On a FAT volume, the shared folder permissions are the only available way to provide
security for the folders you have shared and for the folders and files they contain.
On an NTFS volume, you can assign NTFS permissions to individual users
and groups to better control access to the files and subfolders in the shared folders.
On an NTFS volume, you can apply different NTFS permissions to each file
and subfolder in a shared folder.
