Windows 10: How to set permissions for mapped drive

On my windows 10 system, I configured the directory c:\users\public\documents\mydir to allow me full control, and I mapped that path to drive letter z. I observe that whenever I attempt to access directories using the mapped syntax, e.g. edit z:\my_file, mkdir z:\foo, I have only read access, but the same operations invoked using the full absolute path (e.g. edit c:\users\public\documents\mydir\my_file) work fine. Could someone please explain how to configure the mapped drive to allow full control. Thanks.


Note: I am an administrator, I own that directory and its children, and network discovery is on for that directory under all network profiles

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We can understand your concern. However, we would need some more information regarding the issue.

1. May I know the exact error message?
   
2. Have you shared all hard drives or any particular folder within the particular hard drive?
   

Since you have mentioned that you are getting error related to permission issue, please refer to the troubleshooting steps provided by “Azee N” dated June 2nd 2010 on
Providing permission to drive and try
providing permission to the drive.

If the issue still persists, we would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to re-map the drive.

1. Disconnect the drive by right click on the drive and select disconnect (if the drive is mapped).
   
2. Then re-map the drive by referring to Map a network drive
   and check if it resolves the issue.
