Why does Mac OS X ignore my Windows NTFS and Share permissions?
- by Michael
Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Windows Server 2003
Windows Folder "Videos"
Share Permissions on Videos
- Everyone
NTFS Permissions on Videos
- System (Full Control)
- Domain Users (Modify)
- Domain Admins (Full Control)
Mac user Michael is a part of the Domain Users group. He connects to Videos using cifs://server/Videos and authenticates with his username Michael. Michael copies over a file "dance dance baby.avi".
User Jon opens the Videos folder but cannot see the dance dance baby.avi file.
Checking the dance dance baby.avi file permissions here is what I see:
Everyone - Read, Write
Domain Admins - Full Control
Michael - Read, Write
Owner of File - Michael
So here's my question, how come when Michael copies a file over from a Mac, the permissions on the file get changed even though Michael has no rights to change permissions?
If the same file is copied over from a Windows machine, it just inherits the proper permissions from the parent Video folder.
Am I missing something? Are my permissions wrong? Thanks.
