Assignment: Recommendations for Access Controls Assignment Requirements
In the lab for Module 1, Configure Active Directory and implement Departmental and User Access Controls, you defined the groups, users, and listed access controls necessary to fulfill specific access requirements. In this assignment, you will evaluate how each control affects users’ access to files and folders. You will also examine how changing access controls can affect your users’ ability to access files and folders. Here are the users and groups you defined in the lab: User Member of Groups
SFuser01 ShopFloor

SFmanager ShopFloor, Manager
HRuser01 HumanResources
HRuser02 HumanResources

C:\ERPdocuments\SFfiles – Folder for shared ShopFloor user files.
C:\ERPdocuments\MGRfiles – Folder for shared Manager user files.
