you must set both the network permissions and the NTFS permissions to let

others access your shared resources. You use the network share to share the

resource, but use NTFS to say what folks can do with that resource.

Some good news: This is no big deal! Just set the network permissions to

give everyone Full Control, and then use the NTFS permissions to exercise

more precise control over who accesses the shared resources and how they

access them. Open the Security tab to set the NTFS permissions. We’ll get

into the details a little more in the “Network Organization” section, discussed

next.

EXAM TIP You need to understand the difference between share

permissions and NTFS permissions. Share permissions only apply to network

sharing. NTFS permissions affect both network and local access to shared

resources.

Network Organization

Once a network is created, users need to be able to share resources in some

organized fashion. Operating systems need a way to determine which users

can access resources such as folders and printers and how those resources can

be used. Microsoft designed Windows networks to work in one of three

categories: workgroups, domains, or homegroups. (These are the Microsoft

terms, but the concepts have been adopted by the entire computer industry

and apply to macOS and other operating systems.) These three organizations

differ in control, number of machines needed, compatibility, and security.

Let’s start with the oldest and most common network organization:

workgroups.

Workgroups

Workgroups are the most basic and simplistic of the three network

organizations. They are also the default for almost every fresh installation of

Windows.
