■ Read & Execute
This permissions template is sufficient to allow users to open and read files and folders. Read & Execute will also allow a user to copy a resource, assuming they have permission to write to a target folder or media. There is no permission in Windows to prevent copying. Such functionality will be possible with Digital Rights Management technologies as they are incorporated into Windows platforms.

■ Write and Modify
The Write permissions template applied to a folder allows users to create a new file or folder (when applied to a folder) and, when applied to a file, to modify the contents of a file as well as its attributes (hidden, system, read-only) and extended attributes (defined by the application responsible for the document). The Modify template adds the permission to delete the object.

■ Change Permissions
After modifying ACLs for a while, you might wonder who can modify permissions. The answer is, first, the owner of the resource. Change Permission can modify the ACL on the resource. The Change Permission must be managed using the ACL editor’s third dialog box, Permission Entry
