Курс 2 из 4 — Specialization Computer Security and Systems Management

Microsoft Windows has been at the forefront of enterprise computing for several decades. What most office workers see is the desktop side – such as Windows 7, 8 or 10. This course explores what it takes to design and build the server side of Windows in an enterprise environment. This course will explore everything from Windows Server installation to configuring users, to hardening the server operating system itself. This course is the second course in the System Management and Security Specialization focusing on enterprise system management. The first week of this course provides an overview of how Windows operates in an enterprise environment and what it may look like in the real world. Week 2 of the course will show you how Windows users interact with the system. At the end of Week 2, you will be able to demonstrate how Windows authentication works at the end of Week 2. Week 3 will explore authorization in a Windows environment. At the end of Week 3, you will be able to differentiate between different authorization mechanisms and use different technologies to secure data within the environment. Week 4 explores built in security features of Windows and demonstrates how to use each technology effectively and in what circumstances you would use what technology for what purpose. At the end of week 4, you will be able to determine which technology is the best technology to use to secure certain portions of the Windows operating system.

In this lesson, I'll talk about access control within Windows.

Access control is different than rights and permissions.

Rights and permissions are placed on objects.

So think of computers or files, folders, shares,

registry objects, anything that you can assign permissions to.

Access control is generally something that we put control on many different things.

We control many different objects at once.

So I'll talk about today, role-based access control, mandatory access

control and discretionary access control and the differences between them.

When we talked about rights and permissions,

I was actually talking about discretionary access control.

Okay, discretionary access control allows us to modify things like this.

So our access control lists and

our access control entries based on users.

So permissions and rights.

And that's discretionary access control.

Mandatory access control is different

in that we place certain categories

of rights onto different objects.

While we don't see this very much in Windows,

it comes in the form of mandatory integrity control.

We can assign instead of discretionary access control and

access control entries, or access control lists.

It actually comes in the form, it's called system access control lists.

We can modify these via what we call

mandatory integrity control.

It sits on top of permissions and rights.

So it sits on discretionary access control.

So let's say that I wanted to place mandatory

access control on this Window's folder here.

I might do so with the creation of integrity labels or

the system access control list.

Access control list and mandatory access control,

mandatory integrity control, we don't see this very much inside of Windows.

We just need to know it's there.

The thing that I wanted to stress to you is the importance of

role-based access control within Windows.

So let's go to Active Directory Users and Computers.

We also see the same type of users inside of a normal

Windows 10 system, but much less groups.

So as you're looking here, what do we notice?

So we have DnsAdmins, we have Domain Admins,

we have Enterprise Admins, Enterprise Key Admins,

RAS and IAS Servers and Stooges,

the one that we created a few lessons ago.

Now, notice how these all have very specific names.

Role-based access control is control based on a user's role within the organization.

So essentially, role-based access control assigns permission

to particular roles in an organization.

Users are then assigned to that particular role.

So Domain Users.

Remember how we have all of these users in Domain Users?

Well that's their role.

They are part of the domain.

Domain Admins, for example, I only have Administrator.

Or the other way I can look that information up is going into a User.

So the Admin, Administrator, has access to Administrators,

Domain Admins, Domain Users, etc.

Role-based access control is very,

very important to Windows system administration,

granting only permissions based on what role that user has.

So how this compares to access control process and

rights and permissions is that when an object is accessed,

the first access control entry in the file access control list is examined.

So it contains the group's administrators.

So if a user is not in the administrator's group then he may not have access.

The next access control entry in the ACL lists allow us to, again,

look at somebody's role and determine what their permission level is.

So while we could assign permissions based on a user,

access control allows us and role-based access control

allows us to place that control on a group of users.

This is important to understand so that we can control groups of users for

whatever function that they are doing.
