You can deny folder permission to a user account or group. To deny all access to a user account or group for a
folder, deny the Full Control permission.
You assign file permissions to control the access that users have to files. Table 9.2 lists the standard NTFS file
permissions that you can assign and the type of access that each provides.

NTFS stores an access control list (ACL) with every file and folder on an NTFS volume. The ACL contains a list of all
user accounts and groups that have been granted access for the file or folder, as well as the type of access that
they have been granted. When a user attempts to gain access to a resource, the ACL must contain an entry, called
an access control entry (ACE), for the user account or a group to which the user belongs. The entry must allow the
type of access that is requested (for example, Read access) for the user to gain access. If no ACE exists in the
ACL, the user cannot gain access to the resource.
You can assign multiple permissions to a user account by assigning permissions for a resource to an individual
user account and to each group of which the user is a member. You need to understand the rules and priorities
that are associated with how NTFS assigns and combines multiple permissions. You also need to understand NTFS
permission inheritance.
A user's effective permissions for a resource are the sum of the NTFS permissions that you assign to the individual
user account and to all of the groups to which the user belongs. If a user has Read permission for a folder and is a
member of a group with Write permission for the same folder, the user has both Read and Write permission for
that folder.
NTFS file permissions take priority over NTFS folder permissions. A user with access to a file will be able to gain
access to the file even if he or she does not have access to the folder containing the file. A user can gain access to
the files for which he or she has permissions by using the full Universal Naming Convention (UNC) or local path to
open the file from its respective application, even though the folder in which it resides will be invisible if the user
has no corresponding folder permission. In other words, if you do not have permission to access the folder
containing the file you want to access, you must know the full path to the file to access it. Without permission to

access the folder, you cannot see the folder, so you cannot browse for the file you want to access.
NOTE
The Traverse Folder/Execute File special permission allows or denies moving through
folders to reach other files or folders, even if the user has no permissions for the
traversed folders. This permission takes effect only when the group or user is not
granted the Bypass Traverse Checking user right in the Group Policy snap-in. For more
information on special permissions, see Lesson 3. For more information on user rights,
see Chapter 13, "Administering a Security Configuration."
You can deny permission to a user account or group for a specific file, although this is not the recommended way
to control access to resources. Denying permission overrides all instances where that permission is allowed. Even
if a user has permission to gain access to the file or folder as a member of a group, denying permission to the user
blocks any other permission that the user might have (see Figure 9.1).
In Figure 9.1, User1 has Read permission for FolderA and is a member of Group A and Group B. Group B has Write
permission for FolderA. Group A has been denied Write permission for File2.
User1 can read and write to File1. The user can also read File2, but she cannot write to File2 because she is a
member of Group A, which has been denied Write permission for File2.
By default, permissions that you assign to the parent folder are inherited by and propagated to the subfolders and
files that are contained in the parent folder. However, you can prevent permissions inheritance, as shown in Figure
9.2.
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\MSPress\BooksOnline\Microsoft%20.../ch09b.ht 11/24/2003
Lesson 1: Understanding NTFS Permissions Page 4 of 4
Files and subfolders can inherit permissions from their parent folder. Whatever permissions you assign to the
parent folder can also apply to subfolders and files that are contained within the parent folder, depending on the
inheritance option set for a given object. When you assign NTFS permissions to give access to a folder, you assign
permissions for the folder and for any existing files and sub folders, as well as any new files and subfolders that
are created in the folder.
You can prevent permissions that are assigned to a parent folder from being inherited by subfolders and files that
are contained within the folder by setting an inheritance option set for a given object. That is, the subfolders and
files will not inherit permissions that have been assigned to the parent folder containing them.
If you prevent permissions inheritance for a folder, that folder becomes the top parent folder. Permissions
assigned to this folder will be inherited by the subfolders and files that it contains.
Lesson Summary
In this lesson you learned how NTFS permissions are used to specify which users and groups can gain access to
files and folders, and what these permissions allow users to do with the contents of the files or folders. NTFS
permissions are only available on NTFS volumes. You also learned that the folder permissions are Full Control,
Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, and Write. The file permissions are similar to the folder
permissions. The file permissions are Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, Read, and Write.
You learned about applying NTFS permissions. NTFS stores an ACL with every file and folder on an NTFS volume.
The ACL contains a list of all user accounts and groups that have been granted access for the file or folder, as well
as the type of access that they have been granted.
You also learned that you can assign multiple permissions to a user account by assigning permissions to the
individual user account and to each group of which the user is a member. You learned that NTFS file permissions
take priority over NTFS folder permissions.
Finally, you learned how permissions that you assign to the parent folder are inherited by and propagated to the
subfolders and files that are contained in the parent folder by setting an inheritance option set for a given object.
When permissions inheritance is prevented for a folder, the folder at which you prevent inheritance becomes the
new parent folder. Permissions assigned to this folder will be inherited by the subfolders and files that are
contained within it. Permissions inheritance can also be prevented for a file.

Lesson 2: Assigning NTFS Permissions Page 1 of 11
[Previous] [Next]
There are certain guidelines you should follow for assigning NTFS permissions. Assign permissions according to
group and user needs; this includes allowing or preventing permissions inheritance from parent folders to
subfolders and files that are contained in the parent folder. This lesson presents guidelines for planning NTFS
permissions and then walks you through the steps of assigning NTFS permissions.
Plan what permissions to assign to users or groups for applications and data
folders
Assign NTFS folder and file permissions to user accounts and groups
If you take the time to plan your NTFS permissions and follow a few guidelines, you will find that NTFS
permissions are easy to manage. Use the following guidelines when you assign NTFS permissions:
1. To simplify administration, group files into application, data, and home folders. Centralize home and public
folders on a volume that is separate from applications and the operating system. Doing so provides the
following benefits:
Backup is less complex because there is no need to back up application files, and all home and
public folders are in one location.
2. Allow users only the level of access that they require. If a user only needs to read a file, assign the Read
permission to his or her user account for the file. This reduces the possibility of users accidentally modifying
or deleting important documents and application files.
3. Create groups according to the access that the group members require for resources, and then assign the
appropriate permissions to the group. Assign permissions to individual user accounts only when necessary.
4. When you assign permissions for working with data or application folders, assign the Read & Execute
permission to the Users group and the Administrators group. This prevents application files from being
accidentally deleted or damaged by users or viruses.
5. Turn off the permissions inheritance option at the home directory level. This allows the user to consider
permissions for each file or folder in the home directory.
6. When you assign permissions for public data folders, assign the Read & Execute permission and the Write
permission to the Users group, and the Full Control permission to CREATOR OWNER identity group. The
user who creates a file is by default the creator and owner of the file. After you create a file, you may grant
another user permission to take ownership of the file. The person who takes ownership would then become
the owner of the file. If you assign the Read & Execute permission and the Write permission to the Users
group, and the Full Control permission to CREATOR OWNER, users have the ability to read and modify
documents that other users create and the ability to read, modify, and delete the files and folders that they
create.
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\MSPress\BooksOnline\Microsoft%20.../ch09c.ht 11/24/2003
Lesson 2: Assigning NTFS Permissions Page 2 of 11
7. Deny permissions only when it is essential to deny specific access to a specific user account or group.
8. Encourage users to assign permissions to the files and folders that they create and educate them about
how to do so.
By default, when you format a volume with NTFS, the Full Control permission is assigned to the Everyone group.
You should change this default permission and assign other appropriate NTFS permissions to control the access
that users have to resources. Be careful if you assign permissions to the Everyone group and enable the Guest
account. Windows 2000 will authenticate a user who does not have a valid user account as Guest. The user
automatically gets all rights and permissions that you have assigned to the Everyone group.
Administrators, users with the Full Control permission, and the owners of files and folders (CREATOR OWNER) can
assign permissions to user accounts and groups.
1. Right-click the file or folder for which you want to assign permissions, then click Properties.
2. In the Security tab (see Figure 9.3) of the Properties dialog box for the file or folder, configure the options
that are described in Table 9.3.

Option Description
Name Select the user account, group, or special entity for which you want
to change permissions or that you want to remove from the list.
Add Opens the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box, which
you use to select user accounts and groups to add to the Name list.
Remove Removes the selected user account, group, or special entity and the
associated permissions for the file or folder.
Advanced Opens the Access Control Settings For dialog box, which you use to
add, remove, view, or edit special permissions for selected user
accounts and groups.
Allow Inheritable Permissions From Specifies whether permissions for this object will be affected by
Parent To Propogate To This Object inheritance.
By default, subfolders and files inherit permissions that you assign to their parent folder. This is indicated in the
Security tab in the Properties dialog box by a check in the Allow Inheritable Permissions From Parent To Propagate
To This Object check box. If the check boxes under Permissions are shaded, then the file or folder has inherited
permissions from the parent folder. To prevent a subfolder or file from inheriting permissions from a parent folder,
clear the Allow Inheritable Permissions From Parent To Propagate To This Object check box. If you clear this check
box, you are prompted to select one of the options described in Table 9.4.
Option Description
Copy Copy the permissions from the parent folder to the current folder and then deny subsequent
permissions inheritance from the parent folder.
Remove Remove the permissions that are assigned to the parent folder and retain only the permissions
that you explicitly assign to the file or folder.
Cancel Cancel the dialog box and restore the check mark in the Allow Inheritable Permissions From
Parent To Propagate To This Object check box.
In this practice you plan NTFS permissions for folders and files based on a business scenario. Then you apply NTFS
permissions for folders and files on your computer based on a second scenario. Finally, you test the NTFS
permissions that you set up to make sure that they are working properly.

Lesson 2: Assigning NTFS Permissions Page 4 of 11
In this exercise you plan how to assign NTFS permissions to folders and files on a computer running Windows
2000 Server, based on the scenario described in the next section.
Scenario
The default NTFS folder and file permissions are Full Control for the Everyone group. Figure 9.4 shows the folder
and file structure used for this practice. You need to review the following security criteria and record the changes
that you should make to the NTFS folder and file permissions to meet the security criteria.
What permissions users will require to gain access to folders and files
Whether or not to clear the Allow Inheritable Permissions From Parent To Propagate To This Object check
box for the folder or file for which you are assigning permissions
NTFS permissions that are assigned to a folder are inherited by all of the folders and files that it contains.
To assign permissions for all of the folders and files in the Apps folder, you need only assign NTFS
permissions to the Apps folder.
To assign more restrictive permissions to a folder or file that is inheriting permissions, you must either deny
the unwanted permissions or block inheritance by clearing the Allow Inheritable Permissions From Parent To
Propagate To This Object check box.
The decisions that you make are based on the following criteria:
In addition to the default built-in groups, the following groups have been created in the domain:
Accounting
Managers
Executives
Administrators require the Full Control permission for all folders and files.
All users will run programs in the WordProc folder, but they should not be able to modify the files in the
WordProc folder.

Only members of the Accounting, Managers, and Executives groups should be able to read documents in
the Spreadsh and Database application folders by running the associated spreadsheet and database
applications, but they should not be able to modify the files in those folders.
All users should be able to read and create files in the Public folder.
All users should be prevented from modifying files in the Public\Library folder.
Only USER81 should be able to modify and delete files in the Public\Manuals folder.
When you apply custom permissions to a folder or file, which default permission entry should you remove?
Apps

Lesson Summary
In this lesson you learned that by default, when you format a volume with NTFS, the Full Control permission is
assigned to the Everyone group. You learned that you should change this default permission and assign other
appropriate NTFS permissions to control the access that users have to resources. You learned that Administrators,
the owners of files or folders, and users with Full Control permission can assign NTFS permissions to users and
groups to control access to files and folders. You learned how to assign or modify NTFS permissions for a file or a
folder by using the Security tab of the Properties dialog box for the file or folder.
You also learned that by default, subfolders and files inherit permissions that you assign to their parent folder, and
you learned how to disable this feature so that subfolders and files do not inherit the permissions assigned to their
parents. In the practice exercises, you created some folders, assigned NTFS permissions, and then tested the

When you copy or move files and folders, the permissions you set on the files or folders might change. There are
rules that control how and when permissions change. It is important that you understand how and when
permissions change during a copy or move. This lesson explains what happens to permissions when a folder or file

When you copy files or folders from one folder to another folder, or from one volume to another volume,
permissions change, as shown in Figure 9.7.
When you copy a file within a single NTFS volume or between NTFS volumes
Windows 2000 treats it as a new file. As a new file, it takes on the permissions of the destination folder or
volume.
You must have Write permission for the destination folder to copy files and folders.

Lesson 4: Copying and Moving Files and Folders Page 2 of 4
NOTE
When you copy files or folders to non-NTFS volumes, the folders and files lose their
NTFS permissions because FAT volumes do not support NTFS permissions.
When you move a file or folder, permissions might or might not change, depending on where you move the file or
folder (see Figure 9.8).
You must have the Write permission for the destination folder to move files and folders into it.
You must have the Modify permission for the source folder or file. The Modify permission is required to
move a folder or file because Windows 2000 deletes the folder or file from the source folder after it is
copied to the destination folder.

example, when you copy files or folders from one folder to another folder, or from one volume to another volume,
permissions change. Windows 2000 treats the file or folder as a new file or folder, and therefore it takes on the
permissions of the destination folder. You must have Write permission for the destination folder to copy files and

a single NTFS volume, the file or folder retains the original permissions. However, when you move a file or folder
between NTFS volumes, the file or folder inherits the permissions of the destination folder.
In the practice portion of this lesson you observed the effects of permissions and ownership when you copy and
