Activity: Evaluating Permissions

Your organization has created a Projects share that will contain subfolders created for each ongoing project within the organization. Currently these folders exist within the Projects share, as shown in Figure 6.6.

Figure 6.6 Projects folder contents

Table 6.3 outlines the NTFS permissions that have been assigned to the folders within the Projects share.
