When do permissions take precedence over other permissions?


Asked by Peyton Nichols on Dec 09, 2021 FAQ



Permissions applied directly to an object (explicit permissions) take precedence over permissions inherited from a parent (for example from a group). Permissions inherited from near relatives take precedence over permissions inherited from distant predecessors.
And,
Permission Precedence. Here are some rules for resolving permissions conflicts: "Deny" permissions generally take precedence over "allow" permissions. Permissions applied directly to an object (explicit permissions) take precedence over permissions inherited from a parent (for example from a group).
Thereof, The more specific permissions take precedence over the less specific. Since you are the the owner of the file you will be granted only owner permissions. The owner has no permissions. Thus, you cannot do anything. Had you not been the owner of the file and a group member then group permissions would apply.
Also,
Most administrators choose to set the Share permissions to Everyone|Full Control and then "control" access via the NTFS permissions. Deny permissions almost always take precedence over Allow permissions except in the case where an Explicit Allow over-rides an Inherited Deny. The precedence of NTFS permissions can be summarized like this:
In fact,
Explicit Deny permissions take precedence over explicit Allow permissions, but because of the previous rule, explicit Allow permissions take precedence over inherited Deny permissions. Both sets of permissions can be assigned in the properties window of a file or folder.
