Treehouse TeacherThey are user based file access permissions. There should be a variety of check-boxes available with labels like Full Control, Read, Write, Execute, etc. You can select which users or groups are allowed which permissions on a file by file, or folder by folder basis. Microsoft calls it User Access Control and their TechNet is a good online resource to further your knowledge.
Hope it helps.

Great reference! Just bookmarked it!
I was pointing him to TechNet because it was based on his Windows 2008 Server system he said he was using.
