I have a windows 2008 sbs server and have created a folder on the d drive which I want only certain users to be able to access.<br />
<br />
So I created a domain security group and added the users I wanted to have access to this group.<br />
<br />
Then set this security group to this folder with full access rights. <br />
<br />
However when I try and access the folder with a user from this group it says &quot;access denied&quot;.<br />
<br />
If I add the users individually it works ( but defeating the point of security groups ).<br />
<br />
Also if i give the permissions to the &quot;Domain Users&quot; group this works for all users as expected.<br />
<br />
There are no deny permissions on the folder what so ever.<br />
<br />
So why will it not work for the users added to the security group, but it will work for them when added indivdually as a user?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
