What does the Ownership NTFS permission do?
When you create a new file or folder on an NTFS partition, you become the owner of that file or folder. This is called ownership. Owners can do anything they want to the files or folders they own, including changing the permissions to prevent anybody, even administrators, from accessing them.
What does the Take Ownership NTFS permission do?
Seize control of a file or folder. Administrator accounts have Take Ownership permission for everything. Note the difference here between owning a file and accessing a file. If you own a file, you can prevent anyone from accessing that file. An administrator whom you have blocked, however, can take that ownership away from you and then access that file!
What does the Change permission for NTFS do?
An account with this permission can give or take away permissions for other accounts.
What do folder permissions in NTFS control?
Folder permissions define what a user may do to a folder. One example might be “List folder contents,” which gives the permission to see what’s in the folder.
What do file permissions in NTFS control?
File permissions define what a user may do to an individual file. One example might be “Read and Execute,” which gives a user account the permission to run an executable program.
What is the EFS feature on Microsoft Windows?
Encrypting File System, an encryption scheme that any user can use to encrypt individual files or folders on a computer.
What is a TPM?

What happens to NTFS permissions when you copy data WITHIN one NTFS volume/partition?
Copying within a volume creates two copies of the object. The copy of the object in the new location INHERITS the permissions from that new location. The new copy can have different permissions than the original.

The second level down displays only when programs try to make changes. It appears as a full screen popup that cannot be navigated away from.
The third level down displays a consent form that appears like a normal popup and can be navigated away from.
The bottom level turns off UAC consent prompts entirely. Effectively deactivating UAC.
