Windows 10: Accidentally removed Full control permission for all users except SYSTEM group

While changing the permission for D:/ drive. I removed and added administrator group and administrator users and thus losing Full control permission for all users except SYSTEM.
Now I'm unable to change to any permission.

Please help to add the full control permission to my user profile.. As I'm not able to even view the folders

Folder Permissions Remove System

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



Let me answer your query on Windows 10.

Please be informed that you cannot remove the system entry, However you can add/remove permission for a particular user.

The Group or user name section lists all the accounts on the computer. If you want to prevent a user to accessing the folder, you may deny/remove all permission for that particular user.

The system account and the administrator account (Administrators group) have the same file privileges, but they have different functions. The system account is used by the operating system and by services that run under Windows.

I suggest you not to remove permissions for SYSTEM entry.

Hope the information helps, do reply if you need further assistance.



Thank you.

 

Setting Users Permissions Windows 10

We currently have windows 10 PC's. One is considered the main PC that has a drive (T in it that holds all of the data.

I am attempting to configure T: to give a user (referred to as Bob the rest of the way) access to only one folder, and not let them have access to the rest.

We have a couple user profiles that are administrator level and then multiple that are standard user level. (Bob is a standard user).

I created two new users groups, "user_elevated" (has all users except for bob) & "user_restricted" (only has Bob).

At the T: level: I updated the security settings to the follow:

authenticated users: modify

system: full control

administrators: full control

user_elevated: full control

(I removed the "users" group)

At the folder on the T: that bob can have access to (currently folder is named test) :

User_restricted: full control

(inherited from drive

authenticated users: modify

system: full control

administrators: full control

user_elevated: full control

The problem is when bob logs onto the computer that T:/ is on, he can see all of the folders on the T:/ not just test.

I believe this is due to the fact that authenticated users: full control is on the T: level and then inherited to all folders below. When I removed authenticated users permission at T: (leaving the following

system: full control

administrators: full control

user_elevated: full control

No user, including myself (an administrator profile) could access any folder on T:. I had to re-add the "authenticated users" permission before I could even get back into the drive.

Please help! If I need to provide more information or more specific information please let me know. I have researched a decent amount online that suggested only providing access to the specified folder,
instead of trying to restrict access to the others, but none of the article I have found have explained how to handle the "authenticated users" permissions.

I also could be wrong and it is not related to "authenticated users", but not 100% sure.

Thank's in advance for your help!

 

Windows 10 Photos Permissions Error

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are signed in as administrator.

I would like to inform you that it could be better, if you sign in as administrator and check if the issue persists.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are able to take the full control of the folder or files.

• Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Under Group or user
  names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
• The permissions for the selected user or group are shown in the lower portion of the properties dialog box.
• Assign yourself “Full control” permission by checking the box for “Allow” for Full Control and check if you can access the drive.

If the issue still persists, follow the below steps.

1. Type UAC or User Account Access on the search bar.

2. From UAC window, I suggest you to bring down the level to default and check if it helps.

Hope the information helps in resolving the issue related to the folder permissions. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
