Hello,

I shared a folder from Windows Server 2019 on the file server and gave full client access, but the clients do not have permission to add anything. What should I do? Please give me a guide.

Hi Friends,

I understand that you have shared a folder from Windows Server 2019 on your file server and have given full access to clients, but they still do not have permission to add anything to the folder. Here is a guide to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps for Folder Sharing Permission Issues

1. Check Folder Permissions:
   • Right-click on the shared folder and select *Properties*.
   • Go to the *Security* tab and ensure that the *Everyone* group or specific users/groups have the appropriate permissions (e.g., Full Control).

2. Check Share Permissions:
   • Right-click on the shared folder and select *Properties*.
   • Go to the *Sharing* tab and click on *Advanced Sharing*.
   • Click on *Permissions* and ensure that the *Everyone* group or specific users/groups have the appropriate permissions (e.g., Full Control).

3. Verify Effective Permissions:
   • Right-click on the shared folder and select **Properties**.
   • Go to the **Security** tab and click on **Advanced**.
   • Click on the **Effective Access** tab.
   • Add a user or group to see what permissions they have and ensure that they have Full Control.
4. Check NTFS Permissions:
   • Ensure that the NTFS permissions on the folder (under the Security tab) are not conflicting with the shared permissions.
   • The most restrictive permission (either NTFS or Share) will take precedence.
5. Disable Inheritance and Set Explicit Permissions:
   • Sometimes inherited permissions can cause issues.
   • Right-click on the shared folder and select **Properties**.
   • Go to the **Security** tab and click on **Advanced**.
   • Click on **Disable inheritance** and choose to **Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions**.
6. Check Group Policy Settings:
   • Ensure that there are no Group Policy settings that are overriding your folder permissions.
   • Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and review any policies applied to the server or clients that might affect file sharing.
7. Check for Conflicting Software:
   • Ensure that no security software (antivirus, firewall) is blocking access to the shared folder.
   • Temporarily disable any third-party security software and try accessing the folder again.
8. Use the Command Prompt to Set Permissions:
   • Open **Command Prompt** as an administrator.
   • Use the following command to set the share permissions: shell net share ShareName="C:\path\to\folder" /grant:Everyone,FULL

Step-by-Step Guide to Set Permissions Correctly

1. Set NTFS Permissions:
   • Right-click on the folder and select *Properties*.
   • Go to the *Security* tab.
   • Click on *Edit*.
   • Add the *Everyone* group (or specific users/groups) and give them *Full Control*.
   • Click Apply* and **OK**.
2. Set Share Permissions:
   • Right-click on the folder and select *Properties*.
   • Go to the *Sharing* tab.
   • Click on *Advanced Sharing*.
   • Check the box *Share this folder*.
   • Click on *Permissions*.
   • Add the *Everyone* group (or specific users/groups) and give them *Full Control**.
   • Click *Apply* and *OK*.
3. Verify Permissions:
   • Ensure that both NTFS and Share permissions are set correctly and that there are no conflicting permissions.
