NTFS Permissions Confusion
I clearly do not understand NTFS permissions. Can someone please help eliminate my confusion.
When I am signed in to RAVEN\Clayton (local, standard account) and I check Properties->Security on D:\Users\Clayton\Utilities, I find:
To me this indicates that SYSTEM, RAVEN\Administrators, and RAVEN\Clayton (Owner) have Full Control. Clicking Advanced and looking at Effective Access for RAVEN\Admin (local, administrators account):
To me this indicates RAVEN\Admin (a member of RAVEN\Administrators) has Full Control on D:\Users\Clayton\Utilities. All this makes sense to me.
However, if I sign in as RAVEN\Admin and click on D:\Users\Clayton, I find:
If I try to look at Properties on D:\Users\Clayton, I get:
I simply do not understand this. If RAVEN\Administrators has Full Control on D:\Users\Clayton and all its children, then why does RAVEN\Admin (a member of RAVEN\Administrators) get permission errors? Makes zero sense to me.
