Permissions: Share vs. NTFS
When accessing files over a network, two layers of permissions apply:
- Share Permissions: Apply only when accessing the folder over the network. They are basic (Read, Change, Full Control).
- NTFS Permissions: Apply whether you are local or on the network. They are very granular (Read, Write, Modify, List Folder Contents, etc.).
The Golden Rule: The most restrictive permission always wins. If Share says "Everyone: Full Control" but NTFS says "User: Read Only," the user will essentially have Read Only access.
