    I'm getting 'Ask for permission' and can't resolve it


    I'm getting 'Ask for permission' trying to install a game for my kids.

    First of all I shouldn't be asked that cause I'm administrator of this PC and also I'm signed in with MS account.

    And, second, when I press 'Ask by mail' button I get 'Something went wrong' and 'We’re working on it – try again in a little bit.' and

    Trace ID: e08FWgKj6UGnZM7e.28.1


    SO WHAT NOW?

    :)

  2. Ask for Permission - Google Chrome

    Hi Julian,

    The issue regarding the permission when you're trying to use the different browser is because of the settings on
    Family and Safety. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you check if the account that you are using is already removed to the
    Family list. To remove your account to the Family, you may follow the steps below:

    • Use the Adult account to log in using this link.
    • Click on the Family tab.
    • On the account that you want to remove, click More > Remove from family.
    • Then click Remove to confirm.

    Let us know if the suggestion works for you.

  3. How did this get released before testing and why does it change all permissions without asking

    Hi,

    is the permission for the folders in your user profile shown as "read-only'?

    If this is the case, I would suggest you to try these steps and check if they help:

    • 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.

    Error of asking permission from the administrator

    Hello,

    The error message that asks permission usually appears when you don't have administrator rights to copy a file or folder. To determine the cause of the issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • What is the exact error message that you're getting?
    • Were you able to copy files before without any error?
    • Were there any changes made on your PC prior to this?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps provided by Niranjan Manjhi on this
    post. It includes guidelines on how to take ownership of a file or folder,
    turn off the User Account Control (UAC) which is necessary in preventing unauthorized changes to your computer, and enabling the hidden built-in administrator account on your PC. This was marked as an answer and a lot of Community members
    claimed it as helpful and that it solved their problem.

    Please update us with the results. We will be glad to assist you.
