Share VS File/NTFS permissions

  • Share permissions add up (you have permissions from multiple groups, so you get more permissions each).
  • Folder/NTFS permissions add up (you have permissions from multiple groups, so you get more permissions each).
  • BUT share and NTFS permissions added up together, actually limit down to the file permissions. E.g. you have read-write for the share, but only read from NTFS; subsequently you will only be able to read a file or folder, but not write to it.
