Share permissions vs. NTFS permissions

As mentioned earlier, shared permissions only apply to shares that you connect to over the network. As well, share permissions work over NTFS permissions. NTFS permissions apply both locally and across the network.

A share is another name for a shared network folder.

There are only 3 types of share permissions:

• Read – View folder names and attributes; view file names and attributes; view file data; execute applications.
• Change – View, create, delete or change folders, folder names and attributes (except permissions); view, create, delete or change files, file names and attributes (except permissions); view, create, delete or change file data; execute applications.
• Full control – Perform all functions allowed by Change permission; edit permissions and take ownership of files.
