Calculating Effective Permissions Manually

1
Calculating Effective Permissions Manually

• While answering each of the following questions
• Assume ALL accounts on your server are members of
  the Users Group (including Administrators)
• Assume all access is remote that is, the
  questions are referring to accessing the shared
  folder over the network, not locally
• Assume the permissions listed for each folder are
  the only permissions that exist on that folder
• Note The permissions set in the slides in this
  power point presentation are NOT the recommended
  or suggested permissions, they are being used to
  test your abilities in calculating effective
  permissions.
• The GUI method to calculate permissions cannot be
  used to calculate remote permissions.
