Struggeling with Show effective Permissions

Question

Hi at all,

we´ve a very strange issue with showing effective Permissions. As an Useraccount which is in the local Admin Group, i´m able to shwo effective permission for one user (normal user account) but not for my own account! for example. See pictures attached. I´m trying that on the same path/folder in both try´s.

Any ideas? Environment is Win Server 2016 but it also occurs on Win Server 2019.

Best Regards Markus

Hello there,

How are you getting to the share / folder you are accessing - are you going directly to the folder on the server, or are you browsing to it by UNC? If you are using UNC path, can you try and actually going directly to the folder through explorer and seeing if effective permissions works this way.

The below thread discusses the same issue and you can try out some troubleshooting steps from this and see if that helps you to sort the Issue.
