Permissions
Permissions authorize a user or a group to perform some function on an object. Objects,
such as files, folders, disks, and printers, have a set of permissions associated with them
that can be assigned to users and groups. The specific permissions depend on the object,
but all objects have at least two permissions: Read, and either Modify or Change. Permissions
are initially set in one of three ways:
?–? The application or process that creates an object can set its permissions upon
creation.
545 Chapter 15: Controlling Windows Server 2008 Security
?–  If the object allows the inheritance of permissions and they were not set upon
creation, a parent object can propagate permissions to the object. For example,
a parent folder can propagate its permissions to a subfolder it contains.
?–? If neither the creator nor the parent sets the permissions for an object, then the
Windows Server 2008 system defaults will do it.
