In Windows NT, 2000 and XP, a permission is the authority to access or manipulate a resource (e.g. file, folder, printer). Permissions are binary: either you have a particular permission or you don't. Permissions are managed using the resource's Security tab. The permissions available depend on the type of resource. For example, printers have six possible permissions: Print, Manage Printers, Manage Documents, Read Permissions, Change Permissions and Take Ownership. The last three control who can manipulate the permissions granted for a printer. Any particular user may be granted (or denied) any combination of these permissions. Files and folders have many more permissions. In contrast, see right.
rule associated with an object (usually a directory object) that regulates which users have access to the object and in what manner. Rules associated with the system as a whole are called rights.
An access privilege associated with a file or directory, indicating who can use it and how.
The information attached to each directory and file that specifies which users can access it and to what degree. See also "Understanding and Changing Permissions" in Chapter 9.
