File Permissions and Networking
File permissions determine who can read, modify, write to, or delete a file or folder based on their user account. Files and folders stored on a disk formatted with the NTFS file system (which is always used on the disk that contains Windows 8) can have these permission settings applied on a user-by-user basis as well as by membership in groups such as Administrators and even Everyone. When you log on to a computer, these settings determine which files you can look at and which you can change.
For more information about file permissions, see “Setting Security Permissions on Files and Folders,” p. 775.
