FAT partitions don’t have file or folder permissions, but they do support share permissions. FAT is still used for backward compatibility, but it is not preferred.
#Ntfs permissions windows
As you know, Windows OS basically supports FAT and NTFS file systems. In order to use NTFS permissions we have to have the NTFS file system applied on our storage devices. They are set for users which connect to resources over the network and also for local users. The second level of permissions are NTFS permissions which are part of the file system. These permissions are only used when the folder is shared and the user access that folder over the network. First we have a shared folder permissions which are assigned to a folder that is shared on the network. In general, there are two types of permissions. File and folder permissions define the type of access that is granted to a user, group or computer. ACLs on files and folders are sometimes called file or folder permissions. Resources like files and folders have Access Control Lists (ACLs) which are used to control user and group access. Owners have a permission to give permissions to other users for their objects. Object owner can give permission to other users for that object. If some user created the object (file or folder), he is the owner of that object. Permissions are given by users, typically administrators, which have a permission to edit permissions. Permissions are always assigned to resources, and not users. In general, permissions enable users to perform specific actions on computer resources like files or folders.
