Default NTFS for Mac - Write Access on a per drive & per account basis

Is it possible to enable write access on NTFS partitions on a per partition basis.

e.g. could I set it to allow me to write to external NTFS drives but disable writing to the bootcamp partition.

Also, can write access to NTFS paritions be controlled on a per account basis? I may wish to allow the admin accounts to write to write to a bootcamp partition but not other users (e.g. the guest account).

It appears that there is no such option now. I would recommend you to submit support request (http://www.paragon-software.com/webform).
More requests - better chance to get required option in future versions.

Default Re: NTFS for Mac - Write Access on a per drive & per account basis

You can create /etc/fstab file to manage access type (rw or ro).
The file /etc/fstab is consulted for user-defined mount points, indexed by filesystem, in the mount point determination for a filesystem. Each filesystem can be identified by its UUID or by its label, using the constructs ``UUID'' or ``LABEL'', respectively. For example:
LABEL=BOOTCAMP none ufsd_NTFS ro (mount volume BOOTCAMP with read-only access)
LABEL=EXTERNAL_NTFS none ufsd_NTFS rw (mount volume EXTERNAL_NTFS with read and write access)
LABEL=DONT_AUTO_MOUNT_THIS_VOLUME none ufsd_NTFS rw,noauto
(this volume won't be mounted automatically).
ufsd_NTFS - name of Paragon NTFS driver for Mac OS X.

Thanks, this is a good solution for controlling access on a per drive basis, but as far as I can tell drive mounting control is system wide.

I assume access control on a per account basis would only be possible if there were a 3rd party driver solution (e.g. Paragon NTFS) since OS X does not support NTFS permisssions.
