Is it possible to mount an NTFS filesystem on Windows without permission restrictions?
A typical scenario occurs when you connect a drive containing NTFS partitions from another computer. In this scenario, much of the user content will be inaccessible until you modify the ACLs to give access permissions to your own user's SID.
Windows will offer you to make it permanently accessible, but that causes a lengthy operation that modifies the disk:
I'm curious whether there's a "mount option" to use that'll mark a mounted volume as allowing permissive "everyone" access -- specifically when mounting on Windows (not Linux nor Mac).
1@Scandalist Depends on who "you" is. An admin with access to the disk should be able to do pretty much anything without any limitations. Permissions, IMO, should only be applicable to limited users or on the network. – laggingreflex – 2017-12-14T17:34:27.863
I imagine a recreated user account with have a different ID, wouldn't it? – Michael Frank – 2014-01-06T02:08:49.673
I know that if you are logged in to an account with the same username and password as another account on a different system you will not be prompted for credentials if you attempt to access remote resources on that machine. I would try it. – Scandalist – 2014-01-06T02:10:44.183
ACLs are matched by the SID, so you'd have to recreate an account with the same SID. However, this is not what I asked. – Ilya – 2014-01-06T02:22:49.807
2What good would ACL's and SID's be if you could just mark a volume accessible by everyone. – Scandalist – 2014-01-06T02:26:03.023
