Setting security on shortcut

[Guest tnt]

Hello,

 

Just making sure I am not confused.

 

I have created shortcuts to a few departments share and placed it on a

common share called --> \\fs1\depts$. The departments shares have been

locked down (shares/security) and only allowed users of that department

access.

 

On the shortcuts created, I also locked down to allow only people that have

access to the shares.

 

shortcut security set

-------------------

* Read & execute

* Read

 

share security

-----------------

* Read & execute

* List Folder Contents

* Read

 

 

Question: the shortcut securites set are independent of actual securities

set on the shares? Just making sure. I have tested. Just want a

confirmation.

Yes, a shortcut is actually a file - a.lnk file. Whatever permissions to

apply to the shortcut apply to the file, not the share. Permissions on the

share are independent to those you apply to the actualy shortcut files...

Thanks for your reply. I noticed if users logged in without the security

rights to the shortcut, the icon is white (thats what we want).
