    What does a red circle with an x mean

    I am showing a red circle with an x inside on some files and do not know what that means. I tried adding a screen shot but it could not be added to this post

    Administrator has red circle with white X in permissions folder

    Under security in several folders, I have added Administrator as a user and given full control. There is a red circle with a white x in it over the avatar to the left of the word administrator. Myself and Everyone are also listed as users and have full
    control. There are no red circles with white xs over these avatars. Any idea why the circle and x are there over administrator and how to fix it?
