I. Aim : To Set Access Rights And Securiity Permissions for user .

II. Practical Significance:

In many cases, you will need to change the permissions that a certain group or
individual user has to a file or folder. To do this, you would first need to create a new
folder on the W: drive. By default, the new folder will have the same permissions as the
parent folder, which would not allow students to submit their work, and may not allow
students to even access the folder. You would then need to allow students access to the
new folder, and set permissions for the folder. When you set permissions, you are
specifying what level of access students have to the folder and its files and what
students can do within that folder such as save, delete, or read files.

VII. Theoretical Background :

When you set permissions, you are specifying what level of access students have to the folder
and its files and what students can do within that folder such as save, delete, or read files.
NOTE: The majority of these instructions refer to Computer in the Start Menu.

Standard Permission Types

There are six standard permission types which apply to files and folders in Windows:

 Full Control
 Modify
 Read & Execute
 List Folder Contents
 Read
 Write
Each level represents a different set of actions users can perform. See the table below for more
information.

For folders you can also set your own unique permissions or create a variation on any of the
standard permission levels. Within each of the permission levels are many possible variations.
