How does the "Full Control" permission differ from manually giving all other permissions?



Full control permissions give a user or group the highest level of access to a file, folder or other type of system resource. This permission grants an individual or group the ability to read, write and delete files and folders, as well as change permissions on the resource. It also grants the user or group the ability to take ownership of the resource. In addition, full control permissions allow a user or group to access any file or folder within the resource, regardless of any existing permissions that may be set.

In comparison, manually giving all other permissions to a user or group is a much more labor-intensive process. It involves setting each permission on the resource individually, such as granting read, write, delete and take ownership permissions, as well as any additional permissions that may be required. This can be a time consuming task, as it requires the user or group to be granted each permission one by one.

The main difference between full control permissions and manually giving all other permissions is that with the former, all of the necessary permissions are granted at once. This can be a much faster process, as the user or group is automatically given all of the necessary permissions in one go. On the other hand, manually giving each permission individually can be a lengthy process, as the user or group must be granted each permission one by one.

Full control permissions also provide a greater level of control over the resource in question. This is because the user or group is granted the ability to take ownership of the resource, as well as access any file or folder within the resource, regardless of any existing permissions that may be set. In comparison, when manually giving permissions, the user or group is limited to only the permissions that are granted.

In summary, the main difference between full control permissions and manually giving all other permissions is the speed and level of control that the user or group is granted. With full control permissions, the user or group is automatically given all of the necessary permissions at once, and is also granted the ability to take ownership of the resource and access any file or folder within the resource, regardless of any existing permissions that may be set. On the other hand, manually giving each permission individually is a much slower process, and the user or group is limited to only the permissions that are granted.
