You are designing NTFS and share permissions for an FSLogix Profile Containers share used by Azure Virtual Desktop hosts joined to AD DS. You must ensure users can create their own folder and VHDX file but cannot view or modify other users’ folders. Which configuration meets the requirement?

Correct answer: Share: Everyone = Full Control. NTFS on the root: SYSTEM = Full Control; Administrators = Full Control; Users (or Domain Users) = Create folders/append data, List folder/read data (This folder only); Creator Owner = Full Control (Subfolders and files only)..
Why this is the answer
The correct configuration ensures users can create their own profile folders and VHDX files while preventing access to others' profiles. The share permission "Everyone = Full Control" is a common best practice for FSLogix shares, as NTFS permissions then control access. On the NTFS root, SYSTEM and Administrators need Full Control. "Users (or Domain Users) = Create folders/append data, List folder/read data (This folder only)" allows users to create their own top-level folder but restricts them from seeing or modifying other users' folders at the root. "Creator Owner = Full Control (Subfolders and files only)" grants the user who creates a folder full control over their own profile, which is essential for FSLogix to function correctly. Incorrect options: "Share: Domain Users = Read. NTFS on the root: Users = Modify" is too restrictive at the share level and too broad at the NTFS level. "Share: Authenticated Users = Change. NTFS: Inherit defaults" relies on potentially incorrect inherited permissions and might not be specific enough. "Share: Administrators only. NTFS: Administrators = Full Control only" prevents users from accessing their profiles. "Share: Everyone = Full Control. NTFS: Everyone = Full Control" grants all users full control over all profiles, which is a security risk.
