NTFS Permissions vs Share Permissions

 

The main difference between NTFS permissions and share permissions is the location of the person that is affected by either one.

 

NTFS permissions apply to local users or those who has physical access to the machine.

 

Share permissions apply only to folders and files that have been shared to the network. When accessing the shared folders from another computer, share permissions apply.

 

 

Share vs. NTFS


Share permissions are the permissions you set for a folder when you share that folder. The share permissions determine the type of access others have to the shared folder across the network. There are three types of share permissions: Full Control, Change, and Read.

NTFS permissions determine the action users can take for a folder or file both across the network and locally. Unlike share permissions, NTFS permissions offer several other permissions besides Full Control, Change, and Read that can be set for groups or individually. The most restrictive permission applies when share and NTFS permissions conflict.

 

NTFS permissions apply to the users who locally use the machine while share permissions apply only to users who remotely access the machine from a remote terminal


NTFS permissions can control whether the a user or a group is able to execute programs while share permissions do not

 

All folders have NTFS permissions while only a select few have share permissions


The NTFS file system also includes other features such as encryption, disk quotas, file compression, mounted drives, NTFS change journal, and multiple data streams.
