Share permissions:
Apply only to users who gain access to the resource over the network. They do not apply to users who log on locally, such as on a terminal server. In these cases, use access control on NTFS to set permissions.
Apply to all files and folders in the shared resource. If you want to provide a more detailed level of security to the subfolders or objects in a shared folder, use access control on NTFS.
It is the only way to secure network resources on FAT and FAT32 volumes, because NTFS permissions are not available on FAT or FAT32 volume.
Specify the maximum number of users who are allowed to access the shared resource over the network. This is in addition to the security provided by NTFS.
In order to protect the resources that are made available through shared folders, administrators must configure "permissions" for the folders and files that are made available over the network. There are two types of permissions that can be configured on shared folders: share and NTFS. We are going to focus on the share permissions, discussing some pitfalls that are exposed when you use them, as well as some recommended methods to successfully configure permissions for shared folders.
