8. You share a folder on your computer and you assigned the share permission Change to Everyone. John, a user from the Sales department, has been granted Full Control NTFS permission to the folder. John is also a member of the Sales group, which has been assigned Read NTFS permissions.
What are John's effective permissions when connecting to the shared folder?

a. Read
b. Read & Execute
c. Change
d. Full Control

Answer(s): c. Change
Your Answer(s): a. Read

Explanation:
The effective NTFS permissions are the sum of the permissions assigned to user and to groups the user belongs to. (except for explicit deny permissions which overrides any other conflicting permissions assigned.) When you combine NTFS and Share permissions the most restrictive applies.


My question is, since the most restrictive permission applies, why isn't the answer a. Read? John's group was given the Read permission and that is more restrictive, right? Thanks for your input!
