Authorities and ownership in the QNTC file system

The QNTC file system does not support the ownership concept of a file or directory.

Authentication on the server is performed using either the current user profile and password or network authentication service using kerberos. If the user profile and password are used, then the same user and password must exist on the server. To use Network Authentication Service see the article on this topic in this section.

Attempts to use a command or API to change the ownership of files that are stored in QNTC will fail. A system user profile, called QDFTOWN, owns all of the files and directories in QNTC.

The authority to NT server files and directories is administered from the Windows NT server. QNTC does not support the WRKAUT and CHGAUT commands.
