Windows 10: How do i resctric a user from giving acess to another users in shared folder?

Hello,I have a little problem, Recently a user gave acess to a shared folder for another user in the network. And i dont want that to happen.If i go to properties - security - advanced, i can disable the "change permission" in "show advanced permissions" for the user. But the efect on the folder is if the User tries to change the permission, it will only ask for a user and password, and the user just need to put its credentials. If i disable "read permissions" the user lose is acess to the folder, and i cant enable reading without activate the "read permission". I dont want users to give permi

Network Sharing of a Folder Inside User Folder

Hi, I have three computers that I share with inside my network (as shown when opening file explorer). It works fine but every time I try to share a folder that's inside the user folder the other people on the network don't just see that folder they have
complete access to every file inside the user folder. Anyone have a suggestion that allows people to only see that particular folder inside the user folder?

For instance C:\Users\Rich\Pictures is the folder I want to share on the network but when I share the others see the whole C:\Users not just the pictures folder.

Thanks!

 

Sharing a Folder across Users

Hi, I'm David an independent advisor and user just like you. I'll do my best to help you with this.

I don't know what method you would have used to make the shortcut before so I'll explain the way I would do it:

1. Login as the second user

2. Open File Explorer and open the path: c: / Users / "Primary User" / Desktop

3. From that folder right-click the folder you want to make a shortcut to and choose Copy

4. Close your Explorer window

5. right-click on the Desktop and from the menu choose "Create Shotcut"

Depending on how your permissions are set-up you might get a prompt at step 2) when you try to open "Primary User" folder. If the second user is an administrator account the prompt should offer to fix the access to you can get in to the folder.

If the second account is not an administrator you may need to assign sharing permission to the folder first. You'd do that by logging in as the primary user, right-clicking the folder and use the "Share" option to give permission to the second user.

Regards,

David

 

Cant access my own "users" folder through network

Hi,

After joining the existing network, have you checked if others in the network are now able to access your device or the shared folder under your name? If they are still having issues accessing the shared folder, it could be due to improper folder
Security settings. Check if you were able to give permission to every device in your network to read and write the particular folder. After granting sharing permission to everyone, make sure that the shared folder is accessible from any computer.
Be guided by the steps below:

Step 1: Give sharing permission to everyone

• Right-click on the folder what you want to share.
• In that folder’s Properties, select the Sharing tab and click on the
  Advanced Sharing button.
• Put a check mark next to the Share this folder option.
• Click on the Permission button.
• Now give Everyone the full permission.

Step 2: Make the shared folder accessible from any computer

• Go back to the folder’s Properties window again, select the
  Security tab from the top menu and click on the Edit button.
• Click on the Add button.
• Click on the Advanced button to find the user name.
• Click on the Find Now button to show the list of all available users.
• Find the user name called Everyone from that list, select it and click
  OK.
• You’ll now see the username Everyone shown in the Users and Groups setting. Click
  OK to add this user in the main security list.
• Click on the Everyone, put a check mark next to the
  Full control option, and click Apply.

Keep us updated with the results.
