Permissions

Finally, permissions refers specifically to the level of trust that the owner of a resource has in the people with which he shares the resource. Although very subtle permissions structures can be constructed using Windows NT and Windows 95, a resource generally will either be shared as read-only or full-control. By default, both Windows NT and Windows 95 share resources with full-control, which means that others cannot only view your shared resources but also can append, modify, and even delete them. For the less trusting owner, a good compromise is to grant read-only permissions, which enable others to view your files or print to your printer but not to modify those files or change the printer’s settings.
