| Hey guys! just starting my studying for this test. I have a lot of experiance in XP and 2000, but I just wanted to clear some things up, for myself. Permissions, one this is kinda confussing me. If a user is requesting read, write , exec..... Isn't this the same as Modify? And if it is, then why wouldn't you just have read, write, list, read&execute, and just lose the modify tab? What's the difference? Also, while reading the study guide on this website, I saw that you can allow a group of users to access a folder with modify permissions, yet deny some of the users in the group. Do you do this by "share, permissions" add the group to the share, then give them modify, then click on the security tab, and deny the users who you don't want to have modify, but allow the rest?
Let me know if I confused you......but I think you guys got it
Thanks guys!

| The Modify permission allows users to rename files and folders. This is the only permission that will allow them to do that. The write permission will allow you to create a new file or folder but you cannot rename it.
A best practice is to assign permissions to groups and then explicitly deny any users in that group that should not have those permissions. For example, let's say the Sales group should have Modify access to the Sales folder but John in the group should not have any permission. You would add the Sales group to the permissions list and grant Modify access and then add John to the list and Deny him Modify. | |

| Gotcha. So, there should be two entrys on the folder. One, for the group that the user is in, and one on the folder or file itself, giving them the deny restriction.
Do I have that right? Thanks for the reply, and for clearing that up  | |

| You're right. Whenever a user needs a set of permissions that is different from its group you must add another entry for them and assign them the permission.
Just remember that permissions are cumulative and Deny permissions take precedence over everything else. | |
