An Error Occurred While Applying Security Information To Access Is Denied Windows 2008
how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top “Error Applying Security - Access is denied” while changing file permissions on windows server 2008 up vote 10 down vote favorite 3 I'm an administrator on a Windows 2008 server. When I try to change file permissions an error occurred while applying security information to access is denied windows 7 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 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

UserA creates a folder an error occurred 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
