the parent directory. The example displayed in the graphic shows the default
settings for a file created by the local user
admin .
• The default permissions cannot be deleted —
You can delete the everyone permission, but
the GuardianOS does not allow you to
delete the user owner or group owner. You
can, however, modify the permissions for
these accounts as described below.
• Ownership is set when the file or folder is
created —
The user account under which a
file or folder is created becomes the owner
of the file or folder. This user’s primary
group becomes the group owner of the file
or folder.
• The primary group of NT 4.0 or AD domain
users is specified on the domain
controller —
For local users, the primary
group is AllLocalUsers. For Windows
domain users, the primary group can be set
on a Windows domain controller. (This setting is purely for compatibility with
the GuardianOS security and is not significant in Windows security.)
• The user owner always has change permissions access —
Regardless of file-level
access settings, a user owner has change permissions access to files and
directories.
