Difference in permissions

Hi,

Would anyone kindly tell me the difference in setting the following when
sharing a folder on the network :

In the properties of a folder :
- Permission under the "Sharing" tab
- Security

I am a bit confused on what should be set in order to control who has access
to this folder.

Sorry if this sounds a bit basic and naive.

Thx,


.
