The User Right to Create permanent shared resources
is not related to MS networking shares. It is for such
global objects as shared semiphores, mutants, etc.

Plain Users memers do not have the rights to add and
remove filesystem shares. This right is not a function of
the ACLs on the shares and/or the underlying NTFS struct.
