user --> global group --> local group --> resource
Assigning users to groups simplifies the administration of security by allowing permissions to be assigned to users based on their groups rather than having to assign permissions to each user.

allowing a resources owner to add new users to an ACL assigning credential levels to users and resources to ensure only users with appropriate credentials can access a resource assigning roles to users that determine the resources they can access
User accounts and groups are useful for determining who can access various resources on a network. There may be a large number of files and folders that certain individuals should be able to modify and which others should be able to read but not be allowed to change. Assigning permissions to individual users allows a network administrator to control who can read or modify certain files and folders. They can also be used to control access to other network resources, such as printers. Assigning individual permissions to large numbers of people where large numbers of network resources exist can be time consuming. This is where groups are useful. Rather than setting each individual's permissions for each network resource, the group is set permissions, then users are assigned as members of groups. In this way the group permissions can be modified as network resources change and users can be moved from one group to another (or be made members of multiple groups) which will save time and reduce mistakes.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allows system administrators to establish access permissions to network resources based on the roles assigned to users within an organization. By defining roles, administrators can easily manage and enforce access levels, ensuring that users have permissions aligned with their job functions. This system enhances security and simplifies user management by grouping access rights rather than assigning them individually.

The three levels of printing security permissions available for print servers are Print permissions, Manage this printer permissions, and Manage documents permissions. Print permissions allow users to submit print jobs, while Manage this printer permissions enable users to change printer settings and manage the printer itself. Manage documents permissions grant users the ability to control their own print jobs, such as pausing or cancelling them. These security levels help administrators control access and manage print resources effectively.
Including the Administrators group in assigning permissions is essential for ensuring that users with administrative roles have the necessary access to manage and configure system settings effectively. This group typically has elevated privileges, allowing for tasks such as software installations, user management, and security settings adjustments. By granting permissions to this group, organizations can streamline administrative tasks and ensure that critical updates and maintenance are performed consistently and efficiently. Additionally, it helps maintain security by centralizing control within trusted personnel.
Active Directory stores information about all the objects, resources on the network, policies applied on them and permissions on the resources..objects can be users, computers, printers etc
Functional entitlement groups serve to group together users with similar job functions or roles in an organization. By assigning users to specific functional entitlement groups, administrators can control access to certain applications, resources, or permissions based on the user's role within the organization. This helps streamline user management and ensures that users have appropriate access rights based on their responsibilities.
Share permissions restrict access to shared resources, such as files or folders, over a network. They determine who can view, modify, or manage the shared content based on user or group settings. Specifically, share permissions can limit actions such as reading, writing, and executing files, thereby controlling how users interact with the shared resource. These permissions work alongside NTFS permissions to provide a comprehensive security model.
