    Removing folder permissions from 'Authenticated Users' and/or 'SYSTEM'

    Hi,

    I am using Windows 10 Professional. While logged in as myself (account name 'PWK' and member of the 'Administrators' group), I created a folder at the root of my hard drive called C:\MySecureFolder

    I would like to secure this folder as much as I possibly can so that only the following permissions will exist:

    • Members of a Group called 'Artists' can read files from this folder but can do nothing else
    • Members of a Group called 'ArtManagers' can copy files to this folder and can read files, but can do nothing else.
    • Members of the 'Administrators' have full control (can read, write, modify, delete, etc)
    • Aside from the groups mentioned above, no one else will have permission to do anything in or with this folder
    When I created this folder, I found that by default, the following Groups and Users had been assigned permissions:

    • Authenticated Users
    • SYSTEM
    • Administrators
    • Users
    It was obvious to me that I wanted permissions to remain for the 'Administrators' Group and that I wanted to remove permissions for the 'Users' group, but I was not sure what the ramifications would be if I were to remove permissions from 'Authenticated Users' and 'SYSTEM'.

    I anyone here can advise me whether I can safely do this, or if removing permissions from either of these groups would be a bad idea, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    How to restore “special permissions” for Authenticated Users

    So what I did was:

    • Opened file explorer
    • Right clicked on the D drive, aka Data (DI removed the permissions for the "Authenticated Users" group from my D: disk and I'm... :)
    • Clicked permissions
    • Clicked security
    • Clicked edit
    • Deleted the “Authenticated Users”
    • And clicked apply
    When I restored the Authenticated Users profile, the last box labeled “Special permissions” is grayed out. How do I turn it on?
