It will have access to whatever it has access to.
Yes, that was cryptic. Every user account can belong to
various groups, and is a member of the default "Everyone"
group as well (and usually the "Users" group, etc).
If a share allows access to a group that an account is
in, the account will be able to get to the share.
You can modify share permissions by right-clicking the
share, choosing "Sharing & Security" and
choosing "Permissions" on the share dialog.
