How do I give permission to access a network drive in Windows 11?

I have a network share on a different domain.

Now I wish to be able to access the share in Windows as well as be able to login (read) from Windows. This is the only domain my server is a member of.

What are you referring to here? Is this a drive letter you want to give an ACL to, a share you want to permit, or perhaps a directory you want to grant a user full permission in? There are some common patterns for each: Drive Letter - You would use a DriveLetter attribute to give a particular drive letter a certain ACL. For example: D: Read and Execute for Everyone Share - If you were using a share name without a domain in front, you'd want to reference that share via its fully qualified path. (eg ServerShare) That's essentially the same attribute as described above, but you're telling Windows specifically what share you want to apply the ACL. (Note: even though technically you'd do the same operation with a share name, it does mean your permissions need to be applied specifically to the share name, and not just for its contents.) You could give read and execute permissions to the Everyone group on the share to apply those permissions everywhere
Directory - To tell Windows what permissions you want to give to users in a directory within a share, you'd need to look up how to do directory ACLs. The most common way is to use a specific user as part of the ownership.

For a single user, you simply want the relevant permissions under that user's entry in the directory. (It's usually named the "Local Service", or something similar, or else they aren't applicable) For example, if this directory belongs to "John Smith", then John Smith should have full read and execute permissions on that directory.

User groups - In Windows 10, a user's access to a share may be tied to their membership of a group. Any changes made in Access Control for users groups aren't immediately made live at all. So unless the share contains ACL changes for all groups (Which you wouldn't necessarily want), then you may have to re-apply those permissions manually after making changes.

There is probably also ways of accessing a computer's files/folders other than sharing them out and granting access to the share.

How do I fix user permissions in Windows 11?

I am trying to make sure all users have permission to create/modify content in the user folders on my Windows 11 Pro machine.

However, for all the users, only the first account works and when I logout or log back in, there are no more user accounts that I can log in with to view the folders and make changes.

I've tried deleting the .suo files, renaming them, deleting the files from the folder on their location (permissions are still set to Everyone), I've tried disabling the UAC settings, but nothing seems to be working.

I can log in using the first account and everything works fine, however when I log out or reboot my computer and then attempt to log in using the other user accounts, I am not allowed to access the folders even though I still have permissions to make changes. Is this a common problem that most of you have encountered? What are some solutions to this issue? Go to Control Panel>User Accounts and Family Safety. Select your local Administrator account and click to remove the lock. Click on the Advanced tab and ensure that: Inheritance is selected. Check Apply to all subfolders. Check Make me an administrator of this computer. Click Ok. Then try to logon with the other account(s) again.

Why can't i access a shared folder in Windows 11?

I'm running Windows 11 on my Surface Pro 4.

When I try to access a shared folder on my home server, Windows 11 says the folder is inaccessible. I can access the same folder on my Windows 10 PC. Why can't I access the shared folder on my Surface Pro?

I found the solution. For some reason, I have to log out of Windows in order to access shared folders. After logging out, I was able to access the shared folders.

How do I fix denied permission to access this folder in Windows 11?

Windows 11 is giving me a "denied permission" when trying to access a folder, while all other folders and files in that system have been giving me "allowed permission".

When trying to change the permission, it says I need Administrator rights.

I'm aware that I can use the computer's Administrator account, but that's a last resort. What do I do to fix it? If you try to change permission on a file or folder that is owned by another user, Windows will only let you change the permissions for that user. To allow other users to change the permissions, you will need to make the file or folder owned by Administrator, or change ownership to Administrator. The first option is the easiest one to implement.

To make a file or folder owned by Administrator, right-click on the file or folder and select Properties. In the properties dialog, click on the Advanced tab and click Change owner. Fill in Administrator and click OK.

If you want to change the ownership of the file or folder to Administrator, go to File Explorer, navigate to the folder, and right-click on the file or folder and select Properties. In the properties dialog, click on the Security tab, and select Advanced. Click the button for Owner, and select Administrator. Click OK.
