My understanding is that Windows lacks true POSIX file-system-level

While it does have file attributes, I believe there is no
file-system-level support for granting different rights to different
users, and that the difference between users isn't managed in the file
system, but in the OS layer above it.
The opposite is true. The Windows filesystem has direct support for
fine-grained access control lists that provide very good support for
restricting many types of access to users and groups. It's a system
that's actually considerable more powerful -- and subtle -- that POSIX
permissions and, as far as I'm aware, LiveCode doesn't currently support
accessing or manipulating that data at all.
