If you click each group and look at its permissions, you can see that Administrators and
System have permission for everything, Users have limited permissions, and the Creator
Owner has no permissions. All of the permissions that are shown here are grayed, meaning
that they are inherited from a parent object (the root folder in this case) and have not
been set specifically for this object.
NOTE The default permissions in Windows Server 2003 and 2008 are substantially different than those
in Windows 2000 and earlier versions of Windows NT, where the Everyone group had full permission
to do everything in all but a few of the OS folders. Windows Server 2003 and 2008 start out with the
opposite philosophy, where only Administrators have permission to do everything, and Users (everyone
else) have limited permission. This is an intentional tightening of security on the part of Microsoft.
Add New Permissions
To add new permissions:
1. Click Edit in the middle of the Security tab to open the Permissions dialog box.
Click Add.
2. In the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box, click Advanced, click
Find Now, double-click a single user, group, and/or computer to whom you
want to grant permission, or hold ctrl while clicking several objects and then
click OK. Click OK once more.
If you selected the new group that you created earlier in the Groups section to
be added here, as I did, you will see that group automatically picked up the
same permissions as those for the Users group because the new group you
created is automatically a member of that group.
