Study Notes

NTFS Permissions

NTFS permissions apply to files accessed both locally and over the network
Offer granular control over folders and files
Can be assigned to system users
Folder permissions include the following options: Full control, Modify, Read and Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write
File level permissions share the same names, but function differently
File Permissions include: Full Control, Modify, Read and Execute, Read, Write

Allow access to files and folders shared and accessed over a network
Offer three options to limit user actions: Full Control, Change, Read
Full Control actions: Ownership, Read, Write, Create, Delete, Change permissions
Change actions: Read, Write, Create, Delete
Read Actions: Read, Copy, Run

Permission Management

Use the principle of least privilege: Limit users to only the access necessary for their job
Use group management to assign permissions: Create a group for each role in the organization and assign proper permissions to the group
Assign appropriate members to each group: For changing roles, remove users from a group and add them to their new appropriate group
When users belong to multiple groups, the permissions of the least restrictive group will apply
Apply Full Control share permissions and then use NTFS permissions to fine tune access for files and folders
This strategy eliminates permission conflicts and applies the most restrictive settings locally and over the network
