Question

Scenario 4-1, from pg. 119 of your textbook: "While you are working the help desk for a corporate network, a user named Leo calls to request access to the files for Trinity, a new classified project. The Trinity files are stored in a shared folder on a Windows Server 2012 R2 workgroup file server, which is locked in a secured underground data storage facility in New Mexico. Aftter verfiying that he has the appropriate security clearance for the project, you create a new group on the file server called TRINITY_USERS and add Leo's user account to that group. Then, you add the TRINITY_USERS group to the access control list for the Trinity folder on the file server, and assign the goup the following NTFS permissions: Allow Modify Allow Read & Execute Allow List Folder Contents Allow Read Allow Write Sometime later, Leo calls you to tell you that he is able to access the Trinity folder and read the files stored there, but he has been unable to save changes back to the server. What is the most likely cause of the problem?"

Answer 1

Answer: The most likely problem that face by the Leo is, the format had saved, NTFS checks for permissions from the innermost folder/files If the file permission itself has Deny Write, then even if the parent folder (Trinity) has write access, the file itself would not be written. To solve this: apply the above NTFS permissions to all subfolders/files of the trinity folder which will make Leo to solve the problem which he faced.
