Setting File Permissions

Windows 2000 lets you define who may connect to your shared folders and what they may do with the folders' contents. You do this by defining Permissions for your shared folders. You may define permissions for individual users or for groups of users, both as defined in the User Manager.

You can define the following permissions for a shared folder:

Full Control
Change
Read

The permissions listed above give the following powers to users:

Full Control, Change, and Read Viewing file names and folder names in the shared folder and its subfolders. Reading the contents of files and executing programs in the shared folder and its subfolders.
Full Control and Change Creating new folders in the shared folder and its subfolders. Adding files to the shared folder and its subfolders. Changing the contents of files in the shared folder and its subfolders, and removing subfolders and deleting files in the shared folder and its subfolders.
Full Control On NTFS-formatted drives only, changing permissions of subfolders and files in the shared folder and its subfolders. Also, taking ownership of subfolders and files in the shared folder and its subfolders.

Plain English

User Manager, Users, and Groups When you log on to a computer running Windows 2000 Professional, you have to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then enter a name and password. Then you are logged on either to this computer or to a Windows NT or LAN Manager domain. The name is your username, and it was defined when you were set up as a user, either in the User Manager program on this computer if you are a member of a workgroup, or in the User Manager for Domains on a domain controller if you are a member of a domain.

When you were set up as a user, you may also have been made a member of one or more groups, which were also defined in the User Manager or User Manager for Domains. Groups are used by Windows to make it easy to assign permissions to users. Instead of assigning permissions to users one-at-a-time, you can assign permissions once to a group and all the users who are members of the group benefit from the assignment.

You can manage and set up local users and groups on your computer, but we recommend that you consult with your Network Administrator before attempting to do so. To learn more, search the Help file for setting up local users and groups.

If you choose not to set any permissions for a shared folder, Windows automatically grants Full Control to the group Everyone on all of your shares. The group Everyone is a system-defined group that includes everyone who can connect to your computer by network.

Set permissions for a shared folder as follows:

Right-click the folder you want to set the permission for, and then choose Sharing.
Click Permissions. The Permissions for <resource name> dialog box appears. See Figure 16.5. It lists users and groups and displays the permission assigned to them. You can change the permission of a listed user or group. You can remove a user or group from the list. You can add a user or group to the list and assign a permission to the added user or group.

Figure 16.5 The Permissions dialog box from which you control who has access to your files.
Change a listed user's or group's permission by selecting the user or group in the Name list, then for each permission in the Permissions list, select allow or deny. If you leave the allow and deny blocks empty, you deny the user that permission unless she belongs to a group having that permission.
Remove a listed user or group from the Name list by selecting the user or group; then clicking Remove.
Add a user or group to the Name list by clicking Add. This opens the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, shown in Figure 16.6.

Figure 16.6 The Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box.
Use the Look In field to choose a list of Domain or local accounts.
Select a user or group in the Names list; then click Add. The user will appear in the Add Names list. Use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple users or groups in the Names list; then click Add to add all the selected names at once to the Add Names list.
Click OK to close dialog box, and then set the Permissions for each new person as described in step 3.
When you are finished adding all groups and people, click OK to close the dialog box.
