To grant or deny explicit rights to a file or folder

1. Browse to the file or folder, or to a volume if you want to set rights at the file system root.
2. Right-click the file, folder, or volume choose Properties Trustees.
3. In the list of trustees, select the object whose rights you want to grant or deny. If the object isn't listed, add it by clicking Add Trustee and then browsing for the object.
4. To grant a right, select its check box under Access Rights. To deny a right, deselect its check box. For descriptions of the individual rights, see Rights (File System).
5. Click OK or Apply to save the trustee assignment.

Denying a right does not prevent the trustee from effectively having that right through security equivalence. For example, the trustee might belong to a container or group that has explicit or inherited rights to the file or folder.
