Permissions: 'Sharing' vs. 'Security'

Comment:
For users accessing a shared folder over a subnet, do permissions I set in the "Sharing" tab of the folder override the less-secure permissions under the "Security" tab of the folder? I want little or no restrictions on users actually sitting in front of the computer, but I want tighter (read-only) restrictions on users accessing shared folders through the network.

You're a bit confused on your terminology.
Share permissions will have no effect at all on local users. (users actually sitting in front of the computer). Share permissions only apply to users who access the folder across the network.
The permissions applied via the "security tab" are NTFS permissions - file permissions - that are effective locally and/or across the network. I'm not sure what you mean by "less-secure permissions under the "Security" tab of the folder". These permissions are not less secure by any means. I won't get into the whole explanation of what happens when you combine share and NTFS permissions but if you only want READ access to users across the network, then set the NTFS permissions (security tab) to EVERYONE, FULL CONTROL and set the share permission (sharing tab) to READ ONLY for the users you specify.
