Granting and revoking access rights to folders and files
You can grant or revoke access rights to folders and files that you own.
A domain user can change the access rights of a single
file that the user owns. For an example, user test1 owns
a file named test1.txt in a folder proj_docu with
the permissions shown in Figure 1.

The owner of the directory, W2K3DOM01\test1, has full read, write, and execute access. The group, which is root in this example, and everyone has read access to the directory.
After the test1 user logs
on to the system that is part of the w2k3dom01 domain
and connects to the file system, user test1 can
create the file test1.txt.
