Permissions problem

Dear Hram Admin,

Based on your description, you've created a folder structure at C:\TEST with subfolders REPORTS and storage, and shared the root folder using Advanced Sharing for the local account “Task” with full control. To ensure consistent access, please verify the following:

NTFS Permissions: In addition to share permissions, confirm that the “Task” account has full control at the NTFS level for C:\TEST and its subfolders. Share permissions alone do not override file system restrictions.

Local Account Usage: If “Task” is a local account on Server1, ensure that any access attempts are made from the same machine or that the account is properly mapped if accessing remotely.

Network Discovery and File Sharing Settings: Confirm that Server1 has network discovery and file sharing enabled, especially if testing from another device.

Firewall Rules: Ensure that the appropriate inbound rules for File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In) are enabled to allow access.

I hope this helps. Just kindly tick Accept Answer that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution. Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Hi Domic Vo,

Thank you for the reply!

But the problem is NOT in the absence of permissions for the Task account, the problem is that the Task account is succeeding in writing to the folder (REPORTS) to which it does NOT have write permissions!

Once again: local Task account does NOT have Write permission to any folders, including C:\TESTC\REPORTS:

It has only Read and Execute as a member of the local USERS group as depicted above.

Can anyone tell me how come Task account is able to create the log in C:\TESTC\REPORTS?

Here's one more test:

...Access = WriteData (or AddFile) to the folder with only Read and Execute permission ...

Any comments?
