Windows Server 2019 - NTFS vs Share Permissions

[@thesuperiorman8342]

Thank you. This helps me for my Comptia A+ exam. I appreciate the clarity and the effort

[@ittaster]

Glad it helped!

[@MoonS1337]

This was more informative and helpful than the last hour of articles I was reading to try and understand this concept.

[@williamsenior717]

Clear and neat , a chatbot was telling me when a file is shared the ntfs permissions no longer apply. Glad I verified.

I like this sort of thing. My attention is volatile at best, but I enjoyed the small puzzle and detailed explanation!

[@ittaster]

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, many thanks for the feedback.

[@zt.5677]

This is quite important to know in a production environment. Thanks!

Extremely helpful and clear answer to a, somehow not always well explained topic

[@ittaster]

Many thanks👍

Nice little look at NTFS vs Network Share permissions - Most Restrictive FTW!

[@ittaster]

Thanks Bart!

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

This video couldn't have helped or explained it any better, thanks!

[@ittaster]

Thanks for the great feedback! I'm glad the video helped you out.

[@NiranjanRajan777]

Can you make a full video on Share permission & NTFS permission, how to setup & troubleshooting, etc.

[@minigolfkid]

I need a refresher every now and then. Thanks. :D

[@juanjoseaguero6539]

Thanks...Interesting information!....I do not understand yet when permissions are restrictive and cumulative ?

[@ittaster]

Thanks. My NTFS File & Folder permissions video covers how the permissions work in more detail if you need more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joKxip6LrNKJa6c

It's imperative John, thank you.

[@skylinecanvas]

Thank you, great video and helped me to understand this as i was struggling with it !

[@razvanepcs]

Thank you. I now understand the difference.

[@noahshoesmith4106]

Not too much, not too little, its spot on

[@ittaster]

Many thanks! Useful feedback.

@@ittaster your welcome

[@user-lg4le8xr4s]

Thanks for sharing. Also I had a question similar to this on the AZ-800.

[@joesanchez3012]

How do you know what is most and least restricted

[@ittaster]

Hi Joe, basic NTFS permissions start with Read Only (The most restrictive) which only allows a file to be read/viewed, to Full Control (The least restrictive) which allows a user to do everything including set permissions. There are many more granular permissions in between. Share permissions are less granular (Read to Full Control). Permissions can be displayed in both the file/folder properties (NTFS permissions) and share permissions can be found in the properties of the share. A full break down of these permissions and what they do can be found on Microsoft website which gives plenty of detail. Hope this helps? Jon

Nice illustration. Thank you for the video.

[@rickys6739]

Thank you. Great explanation.

[@StevenFooks]

Quik Question. If he connects over the network as a local user (servername\Bill) do the share permissions apply or the NTFS permissions? (I assume if Bill used remote desktop to access the folder it is NTFS, but if Bill is opening as Desktop\Bill user it is share permissions.)

[@ittaster]

Hi, if a user accesses a share over the network, share permissions and NTFS permissions apply. In the example, Bill is accessing the folder over a network, using a share.

[@amilkcartin]

What if you reverse it and everyone has full control....but marketing only has modify.

[@ittaster]

Hi, if I understand the question correctly, you are asking if the share permission was set to everyone full control? Bill would have full control, because the share everyone = F/C and NTFS for Bill = F/C.

[@robertroy1878]

nice and simply explained

[@brusslee1814]

What exactly is the difference between share and ntfs? ntfs the file system on the share? 🤷‍♀

[@ittaster]

Hi, NTFS permissions are applied to folders and files on the local disk/storage. They control what you can/can't access when sat at your PC for example. But for a user to access a files/folders over the network (on a server). A share is needed. A share is a sort of connection to access a folder/disk over the network. The share also has permissions that determine who can access the share (connection) and the level of access over the network.

[@syedrehman5755]

thank you sir

[@abdullahkiomarz]

Plz create a vedio for ( NTFS Deny Permission )

[@ittaster]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@iliaskaddouri1003]

let's say that : everyone = deny read marketing group = read + write what would happen and thank you for the explanation

[@ittaster]

Hi, permissions are cumulative, except when there is a deny. If the share permission is set 'everyone = deny read' . 'deny read' permission will apply to 'everyone' accessing the share and will be the effective permission.

[@iliaskaddouri1003]

@@ittaster thanks i really appreciate the answer

[@Realdidizhou]

@@ittaster Suppose that instead of "everyone = deny read," it's "everyone = deny write." Would the users still be able to read but not write? Is it appropriate to say that the deny sets a ceiling for allowing what the users can do?

[@oarabilemabikwa1914]

very informative tip one would easily skip to mind, thanks

[@ittaster]

thanks

[@sultanalanazi6951]

thank you

[@ojurongbelanre]

good job boss!

[@frshdly7228]

thanks man

[@l1nxz]

Very good

[@dinil5566]

So don't touch the everyone group...

[@ittaster]

That's a pretty good rule of thumb to apply.
