No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• 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 for further assistance.

 

How to give permissions?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We will need the following information to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps:

• When you say, “how to give permissions” do you receive any error regarding permissions?
  
• Are you trying to provide permissions to a file, folder or drive?
  

In the meantime, you may refer the article
"Access Denied" or other errors when you access or work with files and folders in Windows and check if that helps.



Note: The above article is for Windows 8 however, holds good for Windows 10.




Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
