- TITLE :INF: All Administrators Share Ownership of Objects They Create
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The following information applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Summary:
-
- If a member of the Administrators group creates a file or a directory,
- then the Administrators, as a group, own the file or directory.
- However, if a member of the User's group (or of any other group)
- creates a file or directory, then that user owns the file or
- directory.
-
- More Information:
-
- The Administrators group is a special case; all administrators share
- ownership of objects that any member of the group creates.
-
- The owner of a file or directory object always has the ability to
- change the access permissions for the object, even if the current
- state of those permissions explicitly denies the owner access to the
- object. No other user, including a user logged on as a member of the
- Administrators group, can change the permissions for an object if the
- permissions list prevents that user from making the change. Except for
- members of the Administrators group, no other user can take ownership
- of a file or directory unless first given permission to do so by the
- object owner.
