Alrighty, not sure how to word this but:
Where do the NTFS permissions themselves get created? For example, I can set "Full Control" or "Read", but where are those programmed at?
Here is why I ask:
I noticed that when I am in other programs (such as Active Directory) and I click the "Security Tab" on the item it allows me to set the NTFS permissions for the item itself (such as a user or an OU).
But there are different options in there! They have Full Control and Read and Write and many of the same ones that regular files have but they also have tons of other ones (see my two pics to see what I mean).
So it made me wonder, where are those selectable permissions created and stored?
Also, can I create my own objects to make custom NTFS permissions inside there?
I have a hunch that this is programmed at the Windows level and only Microsoft themselves can change those things, but I really would like to get a deeper understanding of where those lists come from.
Thank you!
Here are the regular NTFS options on a file:
Here are the NTFS options available on a domain object: P.S. I am a computer programmer as well and almost asked this on SO because I am also interested in the code side of this, but it seemed more appropriate for SF.
