When I try to change file permissions on a directory, I get an error: Error Applying Security Access is denied. I am an administrator on the machine, and I made sure nothing has the file(s) locked (with Process Explorer). I even booted another user who had a logged-in Remote Desktop session. Some of the files it complains about are in a .hg folder, as there is a Mercurial repository in the directory I'm working http://serverfault.com/questions/192748/error-applying-security-access-is-denied-while-changing-file-permissions-on on. I noticed that something in the directory is set to read-only so I unchecked that and applied. It looked like it worked, but looking again it's back to read-only and setting permissions still fails. There is a site in IIS using a subdirectory of this directory. Update: I just found this article about this sort of problem. The note at the bottom mentions that if it's not working, check out LockHunter. It told me that the directory was locked by IIS, so I ran iisreset -stop and tried setting permissions again. Same error. :( windows-server-2008 permissions share|improve this question edited Oct 19 '10 at 23:58 asked Oct 19 '10 at 23:48 adambox 3874613 add a comment| 5 Answers 5 active oldest votes up vote 11 down vote accepted This can happen if you really don't have access to that directory. In Windows you CAN lock out the administrator. Ran into this last week, in fact. Check the permissions on that directory to ensure that Administrators is in the list. If you can't even do that, you'll have to take ownership of the folder first (it's a tab in the Advanced Permissions dialog screen). share|improve this answer answered Oct 20 '10 at 0:00 sysadmin1138♦ 99k14124253 Looking at the top level folder I'm working on, Administrators has Full Control. I thought I already have ownership of it, but I just tried taking it again, making sure to check the box to apply recur

UserA creates a folder with a few subfolders and documents. UserB comes along and changes the permissions on the folder and subfolders so he can list folder contents and read folder (not modify or write). Everyone else, including SYSTEM and the owner, can only list folder contents. I know the owner should be able to override permissions on the folder but they can't even see the folder to change permissions. So UserB can't change the permissions because he doesn't have permission to do that and isn't the owner. And UserA can't even see the folder to do anything with it. windows permissions ntfs file-permissions acl share|improve this question asked May 21 '15 at 18:48 codesmyth 31 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Edit the ownership of the parent folder (Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Edit) and apply that to all subfolders. after that's done, edit permissions to apply wanted permissions, then tell it to apply the permission to all subfolders before applying. share|improve this answer edited May 21 '15 at 19:12 answered May 21 '15 at 18:52 Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 84.5k12117172 I tried from UserB's account and permission is denied. –codesmyth May 21 '15 at 19:04 If you didn't, do it form an account that has administrator permissions. Also, you need to take ownership first, including "Replace on subcontainers" option (I'll edit this into my answer). –Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 May 21 '15 at 19:08 I tried it from UserA and UserB's accounts (both have Administrator permissions). Neither one worked. UserA still isn't showing the folder at all. UserB is denied. Administrator's account has no permissions except list contents. I think part of the problem is UserA's account can't see the folder to make permission changes. –codesmyth May 21 '15 at 19:17 Are these folders on a local Windo
