Why each option

Setting the Users group NTFS permission to Full Control alone is insufficient because a restrictive share permission still acts as a ceiling for effective network access.

AYes

This is incorrect because NTFS Full Control cannot override a restrictive share permission - the share permission is evaluated first and caps the effective access granted to network users.

BNoCorrect

Effective network access is determined by the most restrictive permission between the share layer and the NTFS layer. If the share permission for Users remains at a restricted level such as Read, granting Full Control via NTFS still results in only Read access over the network. Both permissions must be set to a level that permits modification for the solution to work.

Concept tested: NTFS Full Control blocked by restrictive share permission
