Re: Applying NTFS Folder Permissions



Wouldn't his effective permission to the file be "Write" because the total effective is the total permissions from all groups, etc, and the most restrictive is in place.

It looks like they started writing it, changed their mind about the scenario, and forgot to fix the first paragraph. The first sentence of the 2nd paragraph indicates that "Modify" in the first paragraph should have been changed to "Read". I.e., "Giorgio is attempting to access a folder for which the HR group has been granted the Read permission and the 4th Floor Users group has been granted the Writer permission."

Their last sentence doesn't make sense either - "If Giorgio had been granted the Read permission and the Modify permisson..." -- Modify consists of Read, Read & Execute, and Write.

What would have made a more interesting scenario is if HR was granted Modify and 4th Floor Users was denied Write... :-)

Does this make sense to you?

"Giorgio belongs to the Human Resources global group & the 4th Floor Users
global group. Giorgio is attempting to access a folder for which the HR group
has been granted the Modify permission & the 4th Floor Users group has been
granted the Write permission.


Giorgio will receive the Read permission plus the Write permissin, and will
be able to read the contents of the folder & add files to the folder. He will
also be able to edit files already in the file. Giorgio will not be able to
delete the files because he doesn't have Modify or Full Control permission,
which is needed to be able to delete files. If Giorgio had been granted the
Read permission & the Modify permission, then he would be able to read files,
add files, edit files, and delete files".



1.My understanding is that he should have Modify because he belongs to HR which is assigned Modify also it says he is able to edit files (hence Modify).

2. As for deleting files/ folders within a folder, one needs Read, Read &
Execute and Write permissions in order for Modify to delete files/ folders
within a folder.
If it is only Read & Execute & Write with modify, then he will not be able
to delete files/ folders within the folder. (Not includings Full Control just
talking about Modify's power).


thanks!
