You can control access to shared resources with a variety of methods. You
can use share permissions

share permissions
Permissions that restrict a shared resource's availability over the network
to only certain users.
, which are simple to apply and manage. Or, you can use access control
access control
A security mechanism that determines which operations a user, group,
service, or computer is authorized to perform on a computer or on a
particular object, such as a file, printer, registry subkey, or directory
service object.
on the NTFS file system
NTFS file system
An advanced file system that provides performance, security, reliability,
and advanced features that are not found in any version of file allocation
table (FAT). For example, NTFS guarantees volume consistency by using
standard transaction logging and recovery techniques. If a system fails,
NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency
of the file system. NTFS also provides advanced features, such as file and
folder permissions, encryption, disk quotas, and compression.
, which provides more detailed control of the shared resource and its
contents. You can also use a combination of these methods.
