  • 1: Authenticated Users built-in security group and the SMSNomadP2P& Content Distribution share account.

  • 2: Only the SMSNomadP2P& Content Distribution share account. This account has also been added to NTFS permission settings.

The Content Distribution share has more information about share permissions and NTFS security. The difference between Authenticated Users and Everyone depends on the OS version, but in general Everyone includes Authenticated Users plus Guest.
