    Local Security Policies vs NTFS Permissions


    Hi All.

    What exactly is the difference between Local Security Policies and NTFS permissions.
    Scenario: I want to add a power user to my computer with the following do's and don'ts:

    Do's:

    • Can Do all the things a Power user can such as: Installing programs and devices, drivers, access command prompt

    Don'ts

    • No Administrative Privileges, especially NOT to be able to use the 'Take Ownership' permission
    • Cannot delete anything except things he has Ownership of(created himself)
    • Cannot Uninstall Any programs, except the Ones he installed
    • Cannot access unauthorized folders and files as set up by permissions

    I can add him to Power Users group, but then he won't be able to add devices right...


    As I understand, NTFS permissions:
    Enable you to set Modify, Execute, Read and Write permissions on files, folders and programs right...(since a program is just a file)

    and

    Local Security Policies:
    Enables you to do specific things such as: Deny a user access to command prompt, or regedit. Allow a user to install programs but not drivers etc...


    Or am I wrong here?


    Thank you
