I have an external hard drive, and I wish to grant permissions on some files to users from 2 different computers without having to hook it up to the 2 different computers. I know the SID of the user on the other computer, I'd like to know if and how I can grant permissions to files using the SID.
I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bits, and "The Other" computer Win 7 Home Premium 64 bits, they are not in a domain, but separate computers on a home network (not even same homegroup).
Note: Duplicated question with: Is there a way to give NTFS file permissions to users from other Windows installations?
icacls "file or folder" /grant:r *S-1-1-0:F
TheS-1-1-0
identifier is assigned to the Everyone group, which "includes all users, even anonymous users and guests." Source That way you wouldn't need to worry about different SIDs. I don't know if that's acceptable for you, though. By the way, Windows 7 Starter doesn't have a 64-bit version. Did you mean to say it was 32-bit?
