Windows 10: changing permissions for object group

changing permissions for object group

What do I enter in the "Enter object name to select" dialog field?

How to add the group "SELF" to an object so I can assign permissions to it

I need to add the group or account SELF to an object, so that I can assign permissions to it.

When adding an account ......

I click on the Security tab which shows me a list of groups or user names that already have permission to access the object.

I click on the "Add" button, the "Select Users or Groups" dialog appears.

But if I search for SELF, I am unable to find it.

As an example.

Using the above, If I want to add the user "TrustedInstaller" to an object, I would need to enter "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" into the "Enter the object names to select" box, because "TrustedInstaller" can't be found either.

If I want to add "SELF", what would be the syntax ?

 

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
