I am trying to standardize the Folder Share Permissions for Users.<br />
Reviewing the NTFS Security Tab I see these long series of numbers on some of the Folders I am trying to clean up.<br />
Ex - ?S-1-5-21-205322222-901425<wbr />63-22 and on and on<br />
<br />
What causes this on some folder permissions and is it ok to simply delete? Is there a way to reference this to see what it is?<br />
I assume it is a SID of sort.

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.
