You have decided to share two folders on your computer to allow other users access to certain content. To better control who has access to the data in these folders, you need to configure share and NTFS permissions. In this lab, your task is to share and configure the share and NTFS permissions for these folders as follows:

Final answer:

To configure share and NTFS permissions for the 'D:\Financials' folder, grant the desired levels of access such as Read, Write/Full Control, and Execute to the 'Everyone' and 'Accounting' groups. Deny No Access to all users to restrict permissions. Adjust the settings through the folder's properties under 'Sharing' and 'Security' tabs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To configure share and NTFS permissions for the folder "D:\Finances" on a Windows computer, first, right-click on the folder and select 'Properties.' Then, navigate to the 'Sharing' tab and click on 'Advanced Sharing.' Here, you will check 'Share this folder' and assign a share name.

Under 'Permissions,' you can grant different access levels to user groups. For the 'Everyone' and 'Accounting' groups, you should modify the permissions as follows:

  • For Read access, allow users to view folder contents, read files, and execute applications.
  • For Write or Full Control, allow users to create, modify, anddelete contents within the folder.
  • For Execute, enable the ability to run executable files within the folder.
  • For No Access, explicitly deny permissions to users, ensuring they cannot interact with the folder's contents in any way.

After setting the share permissions, switch to the 'Security' tab to configure NTFS permissions. Click on 'Edit' to modify the access for user groups or individual users, ensuring that permissions here align with the intended share permissions.

Finally, apply the settings and close the Properties window to complete the configuration.
