Microsoft NTFS Permissions

Microsoft NTFS (New Technology File System) has the following basic file permissions:

• Read
• Write
• Read and execute
• Modify
• Full control (read, write, execute, modify, and in addition the ability to change the permissions)

NTFS has more types of permissions than most UNIX or Linux file systems. The NTFS file is controlled by the owner, who may grant permissions to other users. FIG. 4.14 shows the permissions of a sample photo at C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Penguins.jpg.

To see these permissions, right-click an NTFS file, choose "properties," and then "security."
