what is the security tab

[bookouri]

In active directory users and groups there is the group tab which Ive always used for "security" but what is the purpose of the SECURITY tab? If I look in AD at users, all the users seem to have all the security groups listed in their security tab? What does the security tab do?

thanks for any info...

The security tab for a specific object details who or what groups can access this object and what they have permissions to do. It says if the user has full control, read, modify etc. If a share has specific permsissions for a group that you are not a member of you will not be able to acess this share....

Hope this helps

but the security tab Im talking about is in the user properties sheet in Active Directory. I use the security tab on objects like directories to assign permissions to groups and users, that I understand. I am guessing that in Active Directory users the security tab allows you to assign permissions to the user objects individually??? so you could have different user/groups managing differens sets of users and groups???
