    Permissions to access folders


    Hi,
    I have a 40Gb USB drive which I protect with Bitlocker. When I unlock the drive there are some folders (backups of every photo taken by my camera) which I am denied access to. I have logged on as Administrator (I am the Administrator) and followed all the instructions to regain access but it is denied.
    I can access most of the folders on that drive but not all.
    I don't know how to proceed - can anybody help please as I have tried all the methods proposed when I search for this problem without success? I don't have a problem with any other drive.
    Regards
    Dave

    :)

    how an administrator can give permission to access folders

    Hi John,

    To provide user/s an access to folders, see the steps below on how to do so:

    • Right-click on the folder > Security.
    • Under the Group or user names option, click on the username that you want to have an access to the folder; then, click on Edit.
    • It will show you the page of permissions which you can allow or deny.
    • Choose your desired permissions and click on OK.

    Let us know what happens after following the steps given.

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with permission.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.1. Is the issue specific with a particular folder?

    2. What is the complete error message?

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:


    • Permission issue.

    • Corrupt User Account.

    • Damaged files.

    I suggest you to try the steps under the section Issue 1:
    I get an "Access Denied" error message when accessing or working with files and folders
    in the following article and check if it helps.
