The groups of your Windows Manage panel, are giving different rights in the folders and settings. To known what exactly to choose, we will try to describe the work of each group.
The Administrators group member may be limited because the Deny rule outperforms Allow.
For example if the administrator has Read and Write permissions and all for a particular folder. If you create a user, a member of the Administrators group and restrict Write permissionite him he will not have access to the folder.
Do not use Deny (just do not put users into groups offering resources that do not want them to have)
Just for example: For a folder group Administrators have Read, Write, and all other rights. Simultaneously, the same folder has Deny Write rights for the group of ordinary users (Users). Thus cut all administrators who are members of 2 groups.
So it is good practice to give Read rights to the group Users, without using the Allow or Deny Write. Thus, only the administrator group will have all rights.
In such way you can choose on which position and which group to add the new user in comparison with the right he needs to have.

If you want to restrict the access of the users to certain file on the computer, you can act with the following simple changes in the system:
1. Restart in safe mode.
2. Start Explorer and select specific files you want to change. Right click and go to “permissions”. Here the difference is that you will not see the previous security tab. You’ll notice that there are two parts: the upper part devoted to consumers and lower showing what they are allowed to work with files.
Then select your user from the top and bottom give him permissions you want. Then log back into normal windows and look how they changed the permissions.
With this changes you will restrict the permissions of the user to certain files and will make your information more secure. The actions are for certain users, not to groups, which helps you to develop the security and the information level of your computer or network.
