Windows 10: Revert the access permissions to another user's folder

Hi!
I granted a non-admin user access permission to another non-admin user's folder.

Now I finished transferring the files I needed to transfer, and I would like to revert those permissions to their original state. How can I do that?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry to know that you are facing this issue.

Before I proceed further, I would like to know the below information.

• 
  Are you able to access your computer completely?
  
• 
  You are the administrator of the computer/ the local user?
  
• 
  Is that trying to access the file and folders through the Microsoft account?
  

Method1:
If you concerned about file permissions?

• 
  Right click on the folder which you are not able to access and select 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. Please let us know if it’s working

Method2:
I suggest to follow the below mentioned steps and check with the login user account/ administrator account.

• 
  Press the Windows key + R on the keyboard.
  
• 
  Type Netplwixz
  and press Enter.
  
• 
  Click on Add button, create a new local user account and follow the on-screen instruction to create a new local user account.
  
• 
  Click on new user account, Select
  Properties, and then the Group Membership tab.
  
• 
  Select the Administrator tab, then click OK twice.
  

Please revert back to us for further assistance with the detailed information. We would be glad to assist you.

Thank you.
