Which permissions control the access to folders over a network while the windows server 2008 has several sets of permissions those operate independent of each other?

In Windows Server 2008, access to folders over a network is controlled by both share permissions and NTFS (New Technology File System) permissions. Share permissions dictate access when users connect to the folder over the network, while NTFS permissions govern access to the files and folders on the disk itself. These two sets of permissions operate independently; for a user to access a shared folder, they must have the appropriate permissions from both sets. If either permission set denies access, the user will not be able to access the folder.

In a networked environment no authorized computer user can access data and information stored on other computers on the network?

I believe you mean "unauthorized user'. An authenticated user will be able to access data and information on other networked computers on the network if the permissions allow them to. An non-authenticated user has no access, and no permissions to do so. I understand what you mean, and the answer to that is FALSE.
