What happens when a NTFS folder is moved to a different partition or volume?
This discussion covers the basics of file and folder permissions. It walks you through the kinds of permissions you can assign to files and folders and how to use them. The new and improved Access Control List is discussed, as well as the effects of multiple applied permissions and inherited permissions. First, let's answer a couple of common questions about NTFS permissions: Show
NTFS Permissions and Files
The five NTFS file permissions are also listed in Table 1 with a description of the access that is allowed to the user or group when each permission is assigned. As you can see, the permissions are listed in a specific order. They all build upon each other. TABLE 1: NTFS FILE PERMISSIONSNTFS File Permission Allowed AccessRead This allows the user or group to read the file and view its attributes, ownership, and permissions set.WriteThis allows the user or group to overwrite the file, change its attributes, view its ownership, and view the permissions set.Read & Execute This allows the user or group to run and execute the application. In addition, the user can perform all duties allowed by the Read permission.ModifyThis allows the user or group to modify and delete a file including perform all of the actions permitted by the Read, Write, and Read and Execute NTFS file permissions.Full ControlThis allows the user or group to change the permission set on a file, take ownership of the file, and perform actions permitted by all of the other NTFS file permissions.
TABLE 2: NTFS FOLDER PERMISSIONSNTFS File Permission Allowed AccessRead This allows the user or group to view the files, folders, and subfolders of the parent folder. It also allows the viewing of folder ownership, permissions, and attributes of that folder.WriteThis allows the user or group to create new files and folders within the parent folder as well as view folder ownership and permissions and change the folder attributes.List Folder Contents This allows the user or group to view the files and subfolders contained within the folder.Read & Execute This allows the user or group to navigate through all files and subfolders including perform all actions allowed by the Read and List Folder Contents permissions.ModifyThis allows the user to delete the folder and perform all activities included in the Write and Read & Execute NTFS folder permissions.Full ControlThis allows the user or group to change permissions on the folder, take ownership of it, and perform all activities included in all other permissions.
When you move a folder from an NTFS partition to another NTFS partition what happens to the permissions on that folder?You can modify how Windows Explorer handles permissions when objects are copied or moved to another NTFS volume. When you copy or move an object to another volume, the object inherits the permissions of its new folder.
What happens to permissions when a file is moved to another drive?Moving files into a shared drive does not affect sharing permissions or user roles, such as Editor or Viewer, set directly on the file. However, file permissions inherited from the folder the file was in aren't copied.
What happens to a file's permissions if you copy it from one volume to another?By default, an object inherits permissions from its parent object, either at the time of creation or when it is copied or moved to its parent folder. The only exception to this rule occurs when you move an object to a different folder on the same volume. In this case, the original permissions are retained.
