Share Permissions

Permissions on an SMB shared folder (Full Control, Change, Read) that apply only when accessed over the network.

Definition

Share permissions are coarse and do not apply to local logons. Common practice sets share permissions to Everyone or Authenticated Users Full Control and manages access with NTFS permissions.

Example

A user with NTFS Modify but share Read can only read files when accessing over the network.

Exam tip

Combine share and NTFS permissions: the most restrictive of the two wins over the network.
