- 1User RightsA right authorizes a user to perform certain actions on a computer such as logging on to a system interactively or backing up files and directories on a system.
User rights are assigned through local policies or Active Directory group policies. - 2PermissionsA permission defines the type of access that is granted to an object (an object can be identified with a security identifier) or object attribute.
- 3Access Control List (ACL)To keep track of which user can access an object and what the user can do is stored in the access control list (ACL) which lists all users and groups that have access to the object.
- 4NTFS PermissionsNTFS permissions allow you to control which users and groups can gain access to files and folders on an NTFS volume.
The advantage with NTFS permissions is that they affect local users as well as network users. - 5Types of Permissions used in NTFSExplicit permission – Permissions granted directly to the file or folder
Inherited – Permissions that are granted to a folder (parent object or container) that flow into a child objects (sub-folders or files inside the parent folder) - 6Explicit PermissionPermissions granted directly to the file or folder
- 7Inherited PermissionsPermissions that are granted to a folder (parent object or container) that flow into a child objects (sub-folders or files inside the parent folder)
- 8Effective permissionsThe actual permissions when logging in and accessing a file or folder.
They consist of explicit permissions plus any inherited permissions. - 9Shared FolderMost users are not going to log onto a server directly to access their data files. Instead, a drive or folder will be shared (known as a shared folder) and they will access the data files over the network.
- 10UNCTo help protect against unauthorized access, you will use share permissions along with NTFS permissions (assuming the shared folder is on an NTFS volume). When a user needs to access a network share, they would use the UNC, which is \\servername\sharename. (Universal Naming Convention)

- 13Digital SignatureA mathematical scheme that is used to demonstrate the authenticity of a digital message or document
- 14AuditingGives access to the user that was authenticated. To complete the security picture, you need to enable auditing so that you can have a record of the users who have logged in and what the user accessed or tried to access.
