NTFS security style: Permissions are controlled by Windows and NTFS. The UNIX/ Linux user adheres to the permissions of the corresponding Windows user, regardless of the UNIX/Linux permission settings.

UNIX security style: Permissions are based on the UNIX/Linux permissions. The Windows user adheres to the permissions of the corresponding UNIX/Linux user.

Mixed security style: Both UNIX/Linux and Windows permissions are used. Each user can override the other userʹ permission settings; therefore, be careful when using the Mixed security style.
