Windows 10: How to Add Full Permissions to A Read-Only Share

Yeah, I F'ed up. I removed all of the read-write and full permissions to a share and need to put them back. This share is not on a traditional MS server but a NetApp SAN that can emulate a MS OS.Is there a way I can add full permissions back onto this share?

Removing Read Only from shared files

Hi fink52,

This issue might occur if you have not given full control to the folder, when you share it with everyone. I suggest you follow the below steps and check if it helps:

• Right-click the folder.
• Select Properties.
• Click on Sharing tab.
• Click on Advanced Sharing button.
• Put a check mark next to the Share this folder option.
• Click the Permission button.
• Put a check mark next to the Full control option.
• Click on Apply, then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

Let's make sure that Public folder sharing is on in Network and Sharing Center. Follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Type Manage advanced sharing settings then press Enter.
• Expand All Networks.
• Under Public folder sharing, choose Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders.
• Click on Save changes.

We also suggest you disable your antivirus software if you still encounter the error after following the steps above.

Let us know if the suggestions above help you in fixing the problem.

Regards.
