A Windows 11 workstation hosts a shared folder called "FinanceDocs."
Share permission:
Everyone: Read
NTFS permissions on the folder:
Finance (global group): Modify
Users (domain group): Read & Execute
A user who belongs to the Finance group connects over the network and attempts to save a new spreadsheet in the folder but receives an "Access denied" message. The goal is to let Finance users add and edit files while keeping read-only access for all other users. What change will achieve this goal?
Add the Finance group to the share permission and give it Change rights.
Set the Everyone share permission to Full Control.
Change the Finance group's NTFS permission to Full Control.
Remove the Users group from the NTFS permissions list.
The user's effective permission is the most restrictive combination of share and NTFS rights. NTFS grants the Finance group Modify, but the share permission Everyone: Read blocks write access. Adding the Finance group to the share permission with Change rights (which includes Read and Write) raises their effective share permission to Change while leaving Everyone at Read. Other options either give excessive rights to everyone, do not alter the restrictive share permission, or are unnecessary because NTFS already allows Modify.
