NTFS Permissions

A cumulative permissions system for granular control over folder and files used in the New-Technology-File-System.

NTFS permissions are unique in the sense that they apply to both network shared files and files hosted locally. This means that they can be used in tandem with Windows-Share-Permissions. In NTFS, subdirectories and their contents inherit the permissions of their parent folder. As a result, copying and moving files to and from directories with different permissions can cause conflicts. Even moving files from directories can cause issues, since those operations require specific permissions to complete.

Copying or moving a file from an NTFS partition to a non-NTFS partition removes all the NTFS permissions set on that file.
Moving a file from a non-NTFS partition to an NTFS partition makes it inherit the permissions of the parent folder it was placed
Should a file have conflicting permissions from both NTFS and Windows Share, the most restrictive permissions will be enforced by the system, as NTFS and Windows Share don't supersede each other.
