Windows Server User & Access Control Lab

Built a Windows Server lab to manage users, groups, and access permissions in a virtual environment. Created user accounts in Active Directory, configured group membership, set folder sharing and security permissions, and tested access with different permission levels. Changed access rules and verified how those changes affected user actions.

What I did

• Created users in Active Directory
• Created a group and added users
• Created a shared folder for testing access
• Assigned different permission levels to users and groups
• Tested access behavior using different accounts
• Changed rules and verified the security results

What I learned

• How user and group management works in Windows Server
• How permissions control access to shared resources
• How access changes affect user actions in a real lab setup
• How server-based security rules support IT administration
