Entity sharing in Windows

It is possible to share multiple types of resources in Windows. Common types of sharing is to share folders and printers.

Folders are usually shared on a server. Different permissions can be assigned to different people or groups of people. Permissions can be assigned at the file and at the share level. Permissions at a file level have priority over permissions set at the share level. For example share permissions can allow a person to modify files in a share, however if file permissions disallow editing, than it is impossible to modify that file.

File permissions are usually set at a folder level so all of the files there will have same permissions.

If a printer is shared, than it is available for others to print.

Data at rest protection

There a few ways to prevent a loss or theft of data that is stored. Theft of the data can be prevented by implementing encryption of the data. Even if an intruder is able to access the data, it will not make sense. Backup solution means that a version of data is available in the backup. It is important to have proper data included in the backup, test the backups and store backup in a secure offsite location, since data in backups maybe sensitive. Backups need to be tested regularly to ensure that they work. Redundancy at hardware level means that multiple copies of data is made and it is located on more than one server. Snapshots allow a user to go back to a version of a file that was available on certain day. It is possible to implement redundancy of the data for real-time access to it. It can be done by having data stored in multiple servers (ideally locations) or disks.
