    Windows 10 ignoring NTFS permissions??


    I am trying to create a file on a guest account with some information, and I only want them to have permission to read the file. Nothing more, nothing less. However, this doesn't seem to be happening. I have only given the account permission to read the file, however this user is still capable of renaming the file, moving the file, and even deleting the file. This shouldNOT be happening.


    I can't explicitly set a deny Modify permission, because for whatever reason doing so also requires setting a deny Read permission as well??!? I even tried going into advanced permissions and explicitly setting deny permissions for deleting and modifying the file to no avail, the user can still rename the file, they can still move the file, and they can still flat out delete the file.


    Is Windows just ignoring these settings or something??? The only thing Windows is doing right is not allowing the user to write to the file itself. However, that feels kinda useless when the user can just create a copy and delete the user.

    :)

    Windows 10 permissions...

    How is the NAS on windows 10 Pro? Is it software or a share? Did you check ntfs vs share permissions?

    xp ntfs permissions erased - help!

    NEVER, ever, remove FULL CONTROL permissions in the Access Control Lists/rights priveleges from:

    • Administators Group
    • YOUR local Administrator User
    • SYSTEM
    on NTFS rights on your disks (via Explorer.exe rightclick properties menu, security tab) that use that filesystem, OR in the REGISTRY either, via rightclick on HIVES/KEYS permissions popup menu options...

    (Sure way to lock yourself out, period, & I have done it myself early on w/ NTFS filesystems &/or the Registry before... only way to learn sometimes, is making mistakes!)

    * Keep this in mind, those of you that start experimenting w/ security @ these 2 levels!

    APK

    P.S.=> Leaving them @ FULL POWER, in both areas, usually 9/10 times allows you to get back into your rig (logging on as your LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR USER, to fix it), & make alterations to rights/acl's as needed, to "get it right", eventually... especially when you're still learning/experimenting! apk

    Windows 10 ignoring NTFS permissions??

    Windows 10 permissions...

    Ok so I feel officially dumb I am trying to copy my steam library to my NAS. Both are on windows 10 pro and both have full control in the file manager. Neither windows nor fast copy will allow me to copy, both list a permissions error? This was never an issue with windows 7...so first off thank you microsoft god forbid I want to back up my data, second off what the heck do I need to do to make this work. All I could fine online was to set full control and that obviously didn't help.

    Also robocopy doesn't apparently work with network locations?
