  1. User can`t access files on share despite correct permissions


    Dear Community,i am having the following problem:A user tries to access files on a share for which he has the proper permissions but always gets access denied error. We have a permission group for that folder with 20 other users in it that all can access the files. View effective access on the folder for that user says everything is fine. I checked with gpresult /r that the userprofile is in fact a member of the group and his userprofile is not damaged in any way i could tell. I don't know what else i could check.

    :)

  2. User can't copy files from network share. Permission error.

    Remove the group association from the users account and have the user log off. Add the group association back to the user account and have them log back in.

    Test.

    Double check if the user is a member of any other group with lower access level which might conflict with this shared folder/file. Edit if necessary

    Test.

    Are there issues transferring other files from the same folder. If not create a copy of the file. Purge all permissions and access rights from the copy.. recreate permissions from scratch and copy it over the original.

    Test.

  3. User can't copy files from network share. Permission error.

    The error says: You require permission from DOMAIN\user to make changes to this file.

    The user is trying to copy this file to his local machine. The share has full control by a group named developers. The user in question is a member of this group.

    I created a test account, added it to the developers group and I was able to access the same file.

    Not sure what else to try, and what might be causing this.

  4. User can`t access files on share despite correct permissions

    cannot access file/or permissions

    I have a file i need to run on Windows 7 Home Premium. I get the error message saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    So I right click and choose Properties to access the permissions but I cannot. In the Security tab I get a message saying, " You do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings.".

    Next I boot into the Windows 7 Hidden Administrator Mode - and even with this I get all the same error messages.

    Please help me as I really need to run This file.
