Serve as the root storage folder for all user-created data (for example, C:\Data). Create sub-folders in it to segregate and organize data according to job roles and security requirements.Ensure that only IT can create root-level folders. Don’t even let managers or executive create folders at the top 1 or 2 levels. If you don’t lock down the root-level hierarchy, your neat folder structure will quickly be destroyed. Departments can organize their folders how they want, but don’t allow junk folders.Organize your resources so that objects with the same security requirements are located in the same folder. For example, if users require the Read permission for several application folders, store those folders in the same parent folder. Then give Read permissions to the parent folder, rather than sharing each individual application folder separately.Make sure access-based enumeration is enabled. Access-based enumeration displays only the files and folders that a user has permissions to access. If a user does not have Read (or equivalent) permissions for a folder, Windows hides the folder from the user’s view.Set the Windows file share permissions pretty leniently — give Everyone, Authenticated Users or Domain Users the Full Control or Change permissions — and rely on NTFS for the real permissions management.Avoid having nested shares in your file structures because they can create conflicting behavior for the same network resources if it is accessed through different shares. This can be asking for trouble, especially when the share permissions are different. A nested share is a shared folder that resides in a separate shared folder. There are, of course, the default hidden shares (C$, D$, etc.), which make all shares nested beneath them, and they’re a default. However, if your users use two separate non-hidden shares that are nested, there can be conflicting share permissions.Know when to copy and when to move. Standard copy and move operations deliver default results that can maintain your configured NTFS permissions — or break them. Copy operations will create the permissions of the destination container, and move operations will maintain that of the parent container. To keep this straight, just remember CC/MM — Copies Create, Moves Maintain.Step 4: NTFS Permissions ToolsNTFS Permissions Reporter from CjwdevEffective Permissions Reporting Tool from NetwrixAccess Enum (Microsoft utility)Permissions Reporter from Key Metric SoftwarePermissions Analyzer from SolarWindsStep 5: Exporting user permissions using PowerShelldir -Recurse | where { $.PsIsContainer } | % { $path1 = $.fullname; Get-Acl $.Fullname | % { $.access | where { $_.IdentityReference -like “Suspicious” } | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -name “File Share Path” -Value $path1 -passthru }} | export-csv ".csv File Name and Path

A powerful reporting tool designed to make it easy to view NTFS permissions all the way down your directory tree NTFS Permissions Reporter is a modern user friendly tool for reporting on directory permissions on your Windows file servers. It lets you quickly see which groups and users have access to which directories and allows you to export this information to file for further reviewing. Features such as the highly customisable filtering system and the ability to display group members (direct and nested) directly in the report, combined with the choice of a tree or table based result view format and the option to highlight different permissions in different colours, make this one of the most powerful and easy to use permissions reporting tools available. The filtering options allow you to quickly find rogue permissions that do not conform to your company standards or to easily detect directories that have permissions assigned for accounts that no longer exist, and let you exclude permissions that you are not interested in (for example you could exclude all inherited permissions or exclude directories where permissions are the same as the parent directory). You can build your filter based on a huge number of attributes, including: the account name, account type, which domain the account is from, whether or not the permissions is inherited, whether or not the account is currently disabled, the account SID, whether or not a group has no members, and much more.
