Windows Share Permissions

An enumeration of the permission system Microsoft-Windows supports for files shared over a network.

Permission Description
Read Allows the user to read, copy, and run programs and files in a shared folder.
Change Allows the user all the permissions in Read, as well as creation and deletion of files and programs.
Full Control Allows the user everything in Read and Change, as well as the ability to change permissions for the folder, since it's now acting as the owner of the shared folder.

Permissions assigned to a folder propagate down to its subdirectories.
