Share Permissions vs NTFS Permissions Quiz

Share Permissions control the access to shared folders over the network, while NTFS Permissions control access to files and folders on the local drive.

Each resource has two levels of permissions because when a user logs in locally, only the NTFS permissions apply, and when accessing a shared folder from another computer, both the share permissions and NTFS security permissions apply.

If a user has more permissions than they need, they may be able to perform tasks that can cause problems with the data or applications on the network, such as accidentally deleting an application. It is important to assign the most restrictive permissions necessary for the user to perform their tasks.
