An administrator is editing permissions on a workstation's file share. The administrator wishes to ensure that only marketing and accounting can write to the share over the network. IT staff should…

Applying a Deny Read, Write entry for Everyone at the share permissions level would override the explicit Allow entries for Marketing and Accounting in share permissions, blocking their network access entirely since Deny takes precedence.

Adding Full Control for IT Staff under share permissions grants IT staff the ability to create, modify, and delete files in the share over the network, satisfying the requirement that IT staff can modify share contents without altering local NTFS permissions.

Removing Everyone from share permissions alone does not grant IT Staff network access and leaves the NTFS permission layer unrestricted, making the configuration incomplete.

Removing Full Control from Accounting under NTFS permissions reduces Accounting's access beyond what is required - the goal is to allow Accounting to write to the share, not to remove or downgrade their existing NTFS permissions.

Setting Deny Read, Write for Everyone under NTFS permissions prevents users who are not explicitly granted access through a named group from accessing the share's contents over the network, while local users who have direct NTFS group memberships retain their access through explicit Allow entries that are enforced independently of share permissions.
