File Share Write Access Denied to user from one PC
Hello, I have a user that cannot access a file share from one computer. Normally replacing the computer or anything like that would be a fine resolution, but in this scenario I can't. I have ho...
Alban1999 Thanks for the reply.
I 100% agree on the groups, but I am phasing the explicit user definitions out as I go, but this company has share file access in such disarray at the moment.
I am managing the permissions at the NTFS level. If I made it seem otherwise that was my mistake.
In the event logs I have not discovered an error for this user as of yet. Is this where you are talking about? I didn't look too hard though so I will go back and double check.
Today I rebuilt the user account on the computer and I was able to edit with in the share as I should be able to. However, it completely broke our software and the services that run on the PC (they don't run as the user, but licensing is tied to the user) so I had to restore the PC back to it's previous state.
So the issue is obviously something with this user account on this one PC as to why it cannot edit the share.
Ended up fixing the software to where I could rebuild the user account and everything was fine for 1 day and the user could save to the share. Yet once again today they cannot modify the share location. I removed explicit user permissions from the folder with in the share and applied permissions to a group and put the user in the group and still nothing. At the share level I gave Everyone Full Control and still nothing.
Found that even though the user is signed into the computer, when accessing the share the server sees them as another user account. I haven't looked into why this is yet, but figured I would update that I have allowed the user the server sees attempting to access the file to the group I created and removed the actual user that is signed in from the group and their access works as it should.
