Hernandez Assignment 2 Jaylee Hernandez ISSC361 I001 Spring 2024 Dr. Ihssan Alkadi May 17, 2024 Introduction

In this week’s class we discussed file permissions. In this assignment I will cover the file permissions of a file on my computer. We will discuss who has access to the file and how to modify the file permissions for a user on the machine. File Permissions The following screenshot shows the permissions on the file name 31_Hernandez_Informative Essay Memo. To get to this window you much right click on the file and select properties then select the security tab. Alternatively you can also view this on command line with the cacls command which is demonstrated below the first screen shot. In both views we can observe the users on the machine and what access they have for this file. All users have full access to this file, which can be seen through the graphical user interface (GUI) in the permissions for SYSTEM and seeing the check marks identifying if they are allowed or denied for the following permissions full control, modify, read & execute, read, write, and special permissions. In the command line version is displayed with a single character (F) which is for full control. In the command line you can also see (ID) which means that the permissions for this file were inherited from its parent directory. ( Computer Hope, 2023)

Editing File Permissions If you want to edit the file permissions for a file, you can do this by selecting the user you would like to adjust the permissions for with the GUI version and select what permissions you would like the user to have. The add and remove buttons are to add or remove an object which can be a user or group. (Microsoft, 2024) The following image highlights the areas on the GUI that are utilized to edit the file permissions. You can also do this on command line with calcs or icacls with the syntax of: (Computer Hope, 2024) icacls <filepath> /grant <user:permission> cacls <filepath> /g <user:permission> This process will allow you to grant full permissions to a file for all users on the host machine.

Conclusion In conclusion, file permissions are an important tool to utilize and relatively easy to do with the GUI or command line. File permissions allow control over who can access a file and what they can do to that file. This allows companies to ensure that only those with a need-to- know can access or modify a file. Icacls, calcs or the GUI are simple tools that can be used to modify these permissions.
