Windows 10: Run as different user: How to give permissions to a secondary user on the primary user account.

I am having a problem with the application Canon Digital Photo Professional DPP. It is not responding. I created a secondary admin account and tested the application and it works fine on that account. The only problem is that account cannot access the drives on my computer that has my photos on it so I can work on them and also save back to those drives.


So, I know how to Run Canon DPP on my primary account as a different user.



How do I get the application to see the folders and files on my primary account instead of on the secondary account?

How to setup users’ permission?

Hi,

I have some issues to setup users’ permission, and now, let me tell what i have done and what I want to do....

Disk partition plan

I have made some disk partitions on my computer:

• Partitions the SSD into two drives: C Drive and A Drive.
• Partitions the HD into four drives: E Drive, F Drive, and S Drive.
  

Permissions setting plan

• C Drive is a SYSTEM drive that is only for all user accounts.
• A Drive is Application drive that for installing other software besides the system program.
• E Drive is for using Administrator account, but does not display and is not available for Secondary account when logged in with Secondary account.
• F Drive is using for Secondary account, but does not display and is not available for Administrator account when logged in with Administrator account.
• S Drive is shared disk that to be sharing files between two accounts.

As shown below:





Here are some issues what i have

I have tried to add family account and other user account respectively to my PC (both are standard user accounts), but I have some issues cannot fix:

• Except the user files which are on C driver, other files are basically accessible between two accounts. For example, all users account can access the folder and files which stored into other drives.
• Some third-party software have errors/cannot run properly when logged in by secondary user account.

My question is…

How to setup users’ permission? Such as:

• How to allow a secondary user account to open specific third-party apps only?
• All account and its user files much be completely independent between each other, as an image shown above.
• Any other setting may need to improve security and privacy for each account?

Many Thx.

 

Second user account access to files (documents, pictures) as on primary user account with WIndows 10

Hi,

Groups or users that are granted Full Control permission for a folder can delete files and subfolders within that folder, regardless of the permissions that protect the files and subfolders. If the check boxes under Permissions for <User or Group> are shaded
or if the Remove button is unavailable, the file or folder has inherited permissions from the parent folder. When adding a new user or group, by default, this user or group will have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions.

Setting File and Folder Permissions

To set permissions for files and folders, follow these steps:

• 
  In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.
  
• 
  From the pop-up menu, select Properties, and then in the Properties dialog box click the Security tab, shown in Figure 13-12.
  
• 
  Users or groups that already have access to the file or folder are listed in the Name list box. You can change permissions for these users and groups by doing the following:
  
  • 
    Select the user or group you want to change.
    
  • 
    Use the Permissions list box to grant or deny access permissions.
    
  Tip Inherited permissions are shaded. If you want to override an inherited permission, select the opposite permission.
  
• 
  To set access permissions for additional users, contacts, computers, or groups, click Add. This displays the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box shown in Figure 13-13.
  
  
  
  Figure 13-12: Use the Security tab to configure basic permissions for the file or folder.
  
• 
  Use the Select Users, Computers, Or Groups dialog box to select the users, computers, or groups for which you want to set access permissions. You can use the fields of this dialog box as follows:
  
  • 
    Look In This drop-down list box allows you to access account names from other domains. Click Look In to see a list of the current domain, trusted domains, and other resources that you can access. Select
    Entire Directory to view all the account names in the folder.
    
  • 
    Name This column shows the available accounts of the currently selected domain or resource.
    
  • 
    Add This button adds selected names to the selection list.
    
  • 
    Check Names This button validates the user, contact, and group names entered into the selection list. This is useful if you type names in manually and want to make sure they're available.
    
• 
  In the Name list box, select the user, computer, or group you want to configure, and then use the fields in the Permissions area to allow or deny permissions. Repeat for other users, computers, or groups.
  
• 
  Click OK when you're finished.
  

For any other concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

Regards.

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
