GETTING THE AUTHORISATION TO MODIFY A FOLDER/FILE (changing permissions)


Are you trying to modify a file/folder but you have not the authorisation? Did you get back a message like the following?


"You are not allowed to open the file. Ask the owner or the admin for getting the authorisation"




Try to follow this step-by-step easy guide:


1. Click right on the folder/file

2. Select Properties from the Context Menu

3. In the Security tab click on the "Edit" button



4. In the first box Users and Groups select "Users" and in the second box Authorisation for Users check "Allow" on "Complete Control"





5. Finally click on Apply button and you will be able to modify your folder/file.

For additional methods, you can have a look at this link.
