i've just created ntfs permissions on my office lab for the workgroup, and i'm a bit confused when eg.:
i've created 2 groups(A,B),2 users(usera,userb),2 files(filea on folder A, fileb on folderB). the problem is userb cannot get the filea which is exclusive for the group A. what permissions should i get for the userb??
the More I know, that is more and More I dont know.

    Access to a file is not given unless permitted somehow.
    If access is not defined, then access will not be granted.
    If access is denied to a user through whatever means (groups) then access will not be granted.

    NTFS grants permissions based on the most restrictive policy.
    If there is no policy defined, then the most restrictive is no access.

    If you want userA to access FolderB, grant GroupA or UserA access to FolderB, and make sure there is no deny anywhere.

    You could just place userb in to groupa which has permissions for the file.
