Assigning Standard Permissions
When you’re ready to assign any of the standard permissions that I discussed earlier to a user or group, follow these steps:
1. | In Windows Explorer, display the file or folder you want to secure.
|
2. | Right-click
the file or folder, and then click Properties. (If you have the folder
open, you can select Organize, Properties, instead.)
|
3. | Display the Security tab.
|
4. | Click Edit. The Permissions for Object dialog box appears, where Object is the name of the file or folder.
|
5. | Click Add to open the Select Users or Groups dialog box.
|
6. | If
you know the name of the user or group you want to add, type it in the
large text box. Otherwise, click Advanced, Find Now, and then
double-click the user or group in the list that appears.
|
7. | Click OK. Windows 7 returns you to the Permissions for Object dialog box with the new user or group added.
|
8. | Use the check boxes in the Allow and Deny columns to assign the permissions you want for this user or group, as shown in Figure 3.
|
9. | Click OK in all the open dialog boxes. |
