Permissions in Groups

[PetiteCajun]

Good morning everyone,

During a meeting we had someone bring up the subject of permissions in groups. And I thought to ask the experts here for verification. Say I have a folder called MS2-Everyone, and within that folder I have PUBLIC, and within that I have ATG.
The MS2-Everyone group has been given read access only. But they would like read/write access on ATG. But someone in the meeting said that the permissions given to MS2-Everyone would overwrite the read/write access given to ATG.
How is that? and is he correct? Can anyone explain this in more detail to me?
I thank you.

The way NTFS permissions work is if someone (BillyEd) a member of a group call "Sales" and a group called "Marketing", these groups have the following access to a folder called "Region"

Sales - Change
Marketing - Read/Execute

BillEd will end turn only have Read/Execute ragardless of the change permission because the way NT/2000 works with NTFS permissions is it takes the most restrictive permissions within the groups that have access to a resource that the user is a member of.

Hope this clarifies things..
