NTFS Permissions - Access Denied even though Explicit Allow and no Deny

view story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm hoping someone can help me with this NTFS permissions problem. The short version is that I can't write a new file in F:\SomeDir even though I seem to be granted full permissions via both the "Domain Admins" group and a second unprivileged group. The "Effective Permissions" tab in the explorer permissions UI shows that I have full control, and there are no "Deny"s anywhere in the ACL or anything else that looks unusual. I am logged into the machine over RDP and accessing the disk directly, not through a share. F:\SomeDir>set U USERDNSDOMAIN=THEOFFICE.LOCAL USERDOMAIN=THEOFFICE USERNAME= (HowTos)

Stories similar to NTFS Permissions - Access Denied even though Explicit Allow and no Deny

I'm running a sandboxed application as a local user. I now want to deny almost all file system permissions for this user to secure the system, except for a few working folders and some system DLLs (I'll call this set of files & directories X below).

The sandbox user is not in any group. So it shouldn't have any permissions, right?

I have a security mystery :) Effective permissions tab shows that a few sampled users (IT ops) have any and all rights (all boxes are ticked). The permissions show that Local Administrators group has full access and some business users have too of which the sampled users are not members of.

Read/write permissions ntfs 3 years 17 weeks ago

I am running fedora 10 and am trying to get read/write permissions to my windows ntfs partition.

I have installed ntfs-3g but when i go to the permissions tab i get this message "The permissions of "disk-1" could not be determined.

I encounter a strange problem on a unix/linux machine:

I'm member of a group, let's call it group A and a certain file (which has a different owner) belongs to group A as well. The permissions of that file are

-rw-rw----

so I'd expect I should be able to open that file, but I am not: I'll get the "Permission denied" error message when I try to look at the file's content (using cat).

How do you setup permissions on a Windows NTFS share so that users (in a AD group)

1) can read any file on that share, if they know the full path to the file

2) can't browse/list any folder on that share

The idea is to use the file path as "access token" to the file.

[ubuntu] group permissions 32 weeks 1 day ago

When i plug a usb disk into my ubuntu 12.04 machine. It is mounted with the owner root and the group disk.

On this system i also have a normal user called nice. But nice cannot be allowed to write to the usb disk (copying over folders).

I've created an NFS share on my ubuntu 12.04 machine and am now trying to properly set up permissions on it.

I have created a new admin group which I am a member of.

I'm running a duel boot/partition machine with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. On Ubuntu OS, I wanted to change the permissions in one of my directories so could extract files into that directory. In the terminal I entered chmod -R 777 /usr/share/icons which gives the owner, group, global read, write, and execute permissions.
