NTFS Permission

Answer 1

NTFS (NT File System) stands for New Technology File System (NTFS).

NTFS permissions are used to manage access to the files and folders that are stored in NTFS file systems.

Question 2

Share Permission

Answer 2

share permissions determine the type of access others have to the shared folder across the network.

Question 3

What happens if a user is in different groups with different permissions?

Answer 3

Permissions are cumulative.

For example,
Group A has permission to read folder A,
Group B has permission to read folder B,
User1 in both group A and group B is able to read both folder A and folder B.
except when admin explicitly set deny setting.

Question 4

OU(organization unit) vs group

Answer 4

1. you can only set permission on groups and users, not OU.
   For example, when you add read permission to a folder, only groups and users can be selected.
2. you can only ad GPO(Group Policy Object) to OU, not users or groups.
3. you can set delegate control on OU.
