SummaryAuthorization is the security principle that determines what can be done on a nce authentication has occurred. Windows Server 2003 has a rich set of user rights, object permissions, and additional methods for controlling access to systems and the data and services that they represent. The wily administrator will learn what these built-in facilities are and will exploit them to maintain tight control over Windows-based serv ces and data. This chapter introduced those facilities and laid the groundwork for information that will permeate the rest of this section and be examined for each succeeding service, application, or process covered throughout the rest of the book. Chapter 4 will continue the theme by exploring methods that can be used to restrict access to software. |
