Key Points

• When you assign permissions, grant users the minimum permissions that they need to get their job done.

• When you move files or folders within an NTFS volume, permissions that have been directly assigned to the file or folder carry over to the new location. In all other cases, existing permissions are lost and the object will inherit permissions from the new parent.

• Remember the limitations of Simple File Sharing when you explore a situation on the exam. Simple File Sharing is really an all-or-none proposition; the object is shared with everyone on the network or not shared at all.
