no administator privledges although set as admin.
One of my users is complaining about not being able to modify documents on
the server while logged in under her username/password. Her rights are set to Admin on both the server and workstation. All works fine when logged in as a different user. I'm stumped - thoughts? |

So just because a user has admin privilege, he may not be able to access an object (although he probably has capability to change those permissions). Since the object in question is on a server, it is the server permissions that apply. Bring up a command window (start-run-"cmd") and enter the following command: cacls \\servername\share\path\file_folder or, if it is a mapped drive (e.g. x, cacls x:\path\file_folder where "servername" is replaced with your server name, "share" is replaced with the share name, "path" replaced with the path to the object in question, and "file_folder" is replaced with the file or folder name. This will show the permissions that are currently in effect for that object. Type the command "cacls /?" for a description of terms. It could be that a server group has been defined with access to this object and your user is not a part of that group. HTH, John |
