    Study Notes

    NTFS Permissions Rules

    • Deny Overrides Allow: If a user is a member of two groups, one allowing a permission and the other denying it, the user is denied that permission.
    • Ownership: Administrators can take ownership of an object, and the owner of any object can assign permissions.
    • Object Permissions on Copy/Move: When an object is copied or moved within the same NTFS volume, it retains its original permissions. However, if moved to a different volume, it inherits the new volume's permissions.
    • FAT32: FAT32 file systems do not support permissions or security.

    ICACLS

    • ICACLS grants permissions: The command ICACLS C:\NAT\ROOMS\HEROES-ONLY\GRANT SUPERHEROES:(CI)F /T gives the SUPERHEROES group full control (F) to the HEROES_ONLY folder and all subfolders (/T).
    • ICACLS denies permissions: The command ICACLS C:\NAT\ROOMS\HEROES_ONLY\SECRET.TXT /DENY JOKER:(F) denies the user JOKER full control (F) to the file SECRET.TXT .
    • ICACLS backs up ACLs: The command ICACLS C:\NAT\ROOMS\ /SAVE C:\NAT\ACL_BACKUP.TXT /T backs up the Access Control List (ACL) for C:\NAT\ROOMS and all subdirectories into the file C:\NAT\ACL_BACKUP.TXT.
    • ICACLS manipulates directory inheritance: The command ICACLS C:\NAT\ROOMS\215 /DISABLERINHERIT /REMOVE SYSTEM /REMOVE USERS disables inheritance of permissions for the folder C:\NAT\ROOMS\215 and removes permissions for the SYSTEM and USERS groups.
    • ICACLS restores ACLs: The command ICACLS C:\NAT\ROOMS\215 /RESTORE C:\NAT\ACL_BACKUP.TXT restores the ACL for the folder C:\NAT\ROOMS\215 from the backup file C:\NAT\ACL_BACKUP.TXT.

    NTFS Sharing

    • Share and NTFS Permissions: Accessing a folder or file locally uses NTFS permissions. Remotely accessing a shared folder applies both share and NTFS rules.
    • UNC Path: When accessing a local share using a UNC path (e.g., \ComputerName\Share), Windows treats it as a remote access and thus applies both share and NTFS rules.
    • Share Permissions: Using NTFS permissions to control access is important. It can be combined with share permissions to manage file access from both local and remote users.
