A new technician has mistakenly assigned both share and NTFS permissions to a folder.When someone accesses the data from a remote computer,what permissions will be the effective permissions?

A) Only the NTFS permissions
B) The more restrictive permissions of either the share or NTFS permissions
C) Only the share permissions
D) No permissions will be applied

NTFS Permissions

A feature of the NTFS file system used in Windows Operating Systems that allows the setting of detailed access controls and permissions on files and folders.

Share Permissions

Access rights given to users or groups over a network to determine who can access folders and files, and what actions they can perform with them.

Effective Permissions

The final permissions granted for a particular resource. Folder permissions are cumulative—the combination of the group and the person’s permissions. The deny permission overrides any allowed permission set for a user or a group. When NTFS and shared folder permissions are both used, the more restrictive of the two becomes the effective permissions.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When accessing data remotely, the effective permissions will be the more restrictive permissions of either the share or NTFS permissions. This is known as the principle of least privilege, where the user is granted only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their tasks. In this case, the mistaken technician has granted both share and NTFS permissions, and the effective permissions will be the more restrictive of the two.
