Excel access denied error while saving on Shared Folder

Question

Hi

I have Shared a Folder on a Windows Server 2019 (this is a member server in our Domain) for our Network Users , with full share permission.

On the shared folders I have given all NTFS security permissions except " delete & delete files and sub-folders " to prevent users of the Domain accidently deleting any files or folders. (also have to note that permissions "take ownership , see permissions and change permission " are not granted to Users . plus I have checked the Inheritance is disabled)

now while users can open and edit Excel worksheets , after they are done editing and attempt to save the changes they are prevented and "Access Denied " error is displayed.

Is there a solution or fix for this issue?

thanks

Hi NarimanYaghoobi,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

We'd love to help you with your problem, but since your question involves server file network sharing, we may not be able to come up with some valid ideas.

So I suggest you post on this forum and show your file sharing rules as well, so that people here will help you analyze the problem with more information.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!
