Users who belong to more than one group

[Sammanthza]

Hi Everyone,

I am doing a course in Systems Admin but have some questions which I am
unsure of the answers:

1. "A user belongs to six separate groups, all with different permissions.
You are trying to figure out what permissions the user has by mapping them by
hand. What is an easier way to find out what his permissions are when his
membership to all the groups is taken into account?"

2. A user has copied a data file using a CD burner from a Windows 98
computer and transferred the file to a Windows XP computer. When the
appication that uses the data file is started, an "access is denied" error
appears and references the data file. What might be the problem?"

Many thanks for all your help!

You can see what the Effective permissions is for that person rather than
trying to do it all out by hand - click on the advanced tab under security
and than click effective permissions.

If the file was created in Windows 98 than it was probably under the FAT(32)
file system - I would guess that the file system that is running on XP is
NTFS so the file system is incompatible and can't be seen while running XP.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much camador now that the answer is right infront of me it was
very obvious!
