3.3 NTFS vs. Share permissions

cumulative

NTFS directory permissions By default, the determination of NTFS permissions is based on the _______ NTFS permissions for a user.

NTFS

A moved file, on the other hand, will attempt to keep the same permissions as it had in the original location. Differences will occur if the same permissions cannot exist in the new location— for example, if you are moving a file from an NTFS volume to FAT32, the _______ permissions will be lost.

FAT

Although _______ was relatively stable, if the systems that were controlling it kept running, it didn't do well when the power went out or the system crashed unexpectedly.

NTFS

Before Windows NT was released, it had become apparent to Microsoft that a new filesystem was needed to handle growing disk sizes, security concerns, and the need for more stability. _________ was created to address those issues.

convert e: /FS:NTFS

If you're using FAT32 and want to change to NTFS, the convert utility will allow you to do so. For example, to change the E drive to NTFS, the command is:

NTFS

Microsoft strongly recommends that all network shares be established using _______.

Security

NTFS directory permissions Clicking the Advanced button allows you to configure auditing and ownership properties. You can also apply NTFS permissions to individual files. This is done from the __________ tab for the file.

Deny

NTFS directory permissions Rights can be assigned to users based on group membership and individually; the only time permissions do not accumulate is when the ________ permission is invoked.

List Folder Content

NTFS directory permissions The ______ _______ _______ permission (known simply as List in previous versions) allows the user to view the contents of a directory and to navigate to its subdirectories. It does not grant the user access to the files in these directories unless that is specified in file permissions.

Write

NTFS directory permissions This allows the user to create new entities within the folder, as well as to change attributes.

Read

NTFS directory permissions This allows the user to navigate the entire directory structure, view the contents of the directory, view the contents of any files in the directory, and see ownership and attributes.

Write

NTFS directory permissions This allows the user to overwrite the file, as well as to change attributes and see ownership and permissions.

Read

NTFS directory permissions This allows the user to view the contents of the file and to see ownership and attributes.

Modify

NTFS directory permissions This combines the Read & Execute permission with the Write permission and further allows the user to delete everything, including the folder.

Modify

NTFS directory permissions This combines the Read & Execute permission with the Write permission and further allows the user to delete the file.

Read & Execute

NTFS directory permissions This combines the Read permission with the ability to execute.

Read and Execute

NTFS directory permissions This combines the permissions of Read with those of List Folder Contents and adds the ability to run executables.

Full Control

NTFS directory permissions This gives the user all the other choices and the ability to change permission. The user also can take ownership of the directory or any of its contents.

Full Control

NTFS directory permissions This gives the user all the other permissions as well as permission to take ownership and change permission.

moved

NTFS vs. Share permissions Moving vs. Copying Folders and Files A _______ file, on the other hand, will attempt to keep the same permissions as it had in the original location.

copy

NTFS vs. Share permissions Moving vs. Copying Folders and Files A ________ of a file will generally have the permissions assigned to it that are placed on newly created files in that folder— regardless of what permissions were on the original file.

move

NTFS vs. Share permissions Moving vs. Copying Folders and Files When you _______ a file, you simply relocate it and still have but one entity.

copy

NTFS vs. Share permissions Moving vs. Copying Folders and Files When you ________ a file, you create a new entity.

read, write

NTFS vs. Share permissions Permissions set at a folder are inherited down through subfolders, unless otherwise changed. Permissions are also cumulative: if a user is a member of a group that has read permission and a member of a group that has write permission, they effectively have both _______ and ________ permission.

effective

NTFS vs. Share permissions Share and NTFS permissions are not cumulative. Permission must be granted at both levels to allow access. Moreover, the __________ permission that the user has will be the most restrictive of the combined NTFS permission and the combined share permissions.

network

NTFS vs. Share permissions Share permissions are in effect only when the user connects to the resource via the ___________.

directory

NTFS vs. Share permissions Share permissions can be applied to the _______ level only.

Deny

NTFS vs. Share permissions There is a difference between not allowing (a cleared check box) and Deny (which specifically prohibits), and you tend not to see Deny used often. ________, when used, trumps other permissions.

uncheck, Allow

NTFS vs. Share permissions When viewing the permissions for a file or folder, you can _________ the box for ________, which does not allow that group that action.

Deny

NTFS vs. Share permissions When viewing the permissions for a file or folder, you can check the box ________, which prevents that group from using that action.

Allow

NTFS vs. Share permissions When viewing the permissions for a file or folder, you can check the box for _______, which effectively allows that group that action.

allow, not allow, and deny

NTFS vs. Share permissions Within NTFS, permissions for objects fall into one of three categories:

Read, Write, Modify, or Full Control.

NTFS's security is flexible and built in. Not only does NTFS track security in ACLs, which can hold permissions for local users and groups, but each entry in the ACL can specify what type of access is given— such as:

transaction tracking

One of the benefits of NTFS was a ________ ________ system, which made it possible for Windows NT to back out of any disk operations that were in progress when Windows NT crashed or lost power.

data, backup

Several current operating systems from Microsoft support both FAT32 and NTFS. It's possible to convert from FAT32 to NTFS without losing _______, but you can't do the operation in reverse (you would need to reformat the drive and install the data again from a ________ tape).

network, local

Share permissions apply only when a user is accessing a file or folder through the ________. Local permissions and attributes are used to protect the file when the user is ________.

New Technology File System (NTFS)

The __________ _________ ________ ________ was introduced with Windows NT to address security problems.

extended, extensible

With FAT and FAT32, you do not have the ability to assign " _______" or "__________" permissions, and the user sitting at the console effectively is the owner of all resources on the system. As such, they can add, change, and delete any data or file that they want.

security

With NTFS, files, directories, and volumes can each have their own ________.

NTFS

With ________ as the filesystem, however, you are allowed to assign more comprehensive security to your computer system.

NTFS

________ permissions are able to protect you at the file level.
