background: I have one of my PCs using its File Explorer, its connection to my modem, and thus my ‘local area network’, to access another of my PCs.
question: Is the accessing pc a ‘User’ of the accessed pc?, rather than: Authenticated User; Administrator; or ‘System’.
Thank you.
I ask so that i can do more amateur thinking about editing Permissions.

Hi ,
Sorry, it got a little confusing. Did you mean the "Users" group?
Does it only grant access to the network folder, or do you mean that the computers appear in the network tab in Windows Explorer for a regular user instead of administrators?
Thanks
Thx for that. Regarding your questions:
your ‘Users’ group question: No, that is not what i asked about. Instead the question is: is the accessing pc a ‘User’ of the accessed pc?, rather than: Authenticated User; Administrator; or ‘System’. In other words, the accessed pc has various types of Windows accounts, i.e 4, or 4 main ones, i.e: ‘User’; Authenticated User; Administrator; and ‘System’. So which of such 4 labels subsumes the accessing pc.
your two questions about what access the accessed pc is granting: I would like to forgo thinking about how to answer those questions, at least for now, because they are difficult for me and are not what i asked about. I’m asking about Windows vocabulary.
Hi ,
In the case of the user you are using, if they are not an administrator, they belong to the user group. The authenticated group is based on whether you successfully log in, along with the line where they were created, being the type common user (users) and Administrator (administrators).
Thanks
