What permissions so that user can't make changes?

NndnG 1,101

Hi,

I created a user, welcome in Windows 10. I want to give him access to a drive but the user must not be able to make changes in the drive like adding or deleting a file or folder. And I tried permission like below.

Because of above permission, the user is not able to create a file/folder but he can delete.

Please let me know, what type of permissions are required so that the user can't make any changes in the contents of drive. He can only read, view or play (if any multimedia file).

With Regards

Hi,

Click "Edit..." to grant or deny the five standard permissions for each group or user that has access to the file: Full Control; Modify; Read and Execute; Read; and Write.

Allow the option Read, deny the other permissions, this should help you.

Hope above information can help you.

Thank you for replying me for my question.

I am facing difficulties while assigning permissions.

When I am trying to check Allow for Read and Deny for other options. It’s not accepting.

First, I checked Deny for all (Full Control, Modify, Read and Execute, List folder contents, Read and Write), then checked Allow for only Read; rest options (except Write) unchecked.

Like this, when I check Deny for List folder contents, Allow is unchecked.

Therefore, I am unable to apply permissions that you explained.

Pls look for it and let me know, how to resolve it.

Hi,
Deny is always take precedence over permit, so if you have a deny set somewhere for a user/group, you will never be able to explicitly grant them permissions without breaking inheritance.
