Re: Permissions issues



The definition of your Users group likely contains either
Authenticated Users or Interactive or both. Either of those
will make an admin account that has logged in locally a
member of Users.

Fair enough, but the question remains... why does setting Deny all on the
local Users group affect the local Administrator account? I've got a
similar
situation where the Administrator user is not part of Users group,
directly
or indirectly, yet applying Deny permissions to the latter affect the
former.

Thanks in advance,

I want to stop ALL users (except me the Administrator) from even
looking at the contents of a folder.

I set the 'Users' group permissions to Deny/Full Control. This
ticks ALL the deny boxes. Fine.

BUT as the admin guy I also cannot look at the folder. I look at the
folder's permissions for Administrators and the ALLOW column has
all the boxes ticked but in grey. What am I doing wrong?

Just eliminate the "users" group from the permissions at all and give
administrators full.
No reason to start diving into the Deny permissions.

In other words - for the folder permissions in questions - the only
users/groups listed at all should be administrators with Allow FULL
permissions and it should be in effect for that folder and all
sub-folders.
