Is there some easy way to permanently allow myself full access to all folders and files? I am the only user on a freshly formatted PC, and every answer I could find online seemed to be per folder and a one time solution.
An example of not being able to open a folder is the WindowsApps Folder in my D: Drive.
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps is a restricted folder used for the Windows Store apps. It's designed that way as a security feature to limit the access windows store apps have to your Windows OS. Not all apps on the Windows store are audited and checked to confirm their legitimacy. The folder is purposely designed to act as a little island separated from your user profile and sensitive data. You can gain ownership of it though...
You already found it by enabling show hidden items, so you can go to the folders properties > security > Advanced > Change > [enter your username] > check the box to 'Replace owner on subcontainers and objects' on the next screen. You should now have access to that folder.

I've seen a lot of answers on copying files that use code to set a network share, with credentials, to copy to somewhere else. However I need a solution that will allow a user to copy from a network share they already have access for, to a local drive they don't have access to.
We run RDS servers and have locked down direct access to the local C:/ drive on the servers. We have been given a 3rd party program that needs to read data files that must be stored in a fixed path on the C:/ drive. These data files are updated once a month. Our users have read access but we do not want to give them direct write access to the root C:/ drive.
I need to write a piece of vb.net, or command line code in .bat file that will copy files to the Local C:/ whilst providing the details of a service account to provide the access.
As mentioned I've seen a lot about setting up a mapping to shared folder and passing creds, however we don't want to set the C:/ as mapped shared drive in this instance.
You don't want the user having access to the C Drive in general, is there any particular reason the permissions on the particular subfolder the files are going to can't have overriding permissions to allow writing to just that folder?
If that will not work, first thought that comes to mind is having a helper program that can be ran under a different user that does have that access. Set up an intermediate folder the user can write to, the program that they can launch drops the files into a folder they have access to. Helper program watches for files in the intermediate folder, moves them to where they need to be.
Set up would need to include adding a user that does have access to both locations, and then adding to task manager to launch the helper program under that other user at login.
As soon as I take away EVERYONE from the root folder (Company Home) in alfresco, some custom webscripts stop working and respond that this folder cannot be found. I would like to give a subset of EVERYONE (eg GROUP_A) permission from the rootfolder down. The "normal" usage of alfresco through Share keeps working when I do just that, only the webscripts give me some trouble. There are answers like this one:
Alfresco openCMIS connect to home folder
But that's just a workaround. Maybe some kind of system user needs to have permissions on the root folder?
I think this is a similar question: Alfresco webscript can't find Company Home folder
The most clear answer is (depends on which version you are) that the webscripts, CMIS & Java code need to know the path of the node you are in.
In Previous Alfresco versions even in Share a user needs to have Consumer rights on the parent folder otherwise the breadcrum would fail to load and other issues.
In 4.2.x if you retrieve a document/folder and you as user don't have rights on one of the parents folders OpenCMIS code breaks. This will/should also happen on some webscripts.
A user needs rights on the template folders within Data Dictionary, so it's good to keep the EVERYONE group on Data Dictionary.
recently I have created a share folder (in windows8) in my organization where everyone has to submit their work. But later I found some one deleting files of others.
From now onward I want keep an eye on the shared folder. Is there any way to save the logs in shared folders. I tried using windows event logs but I am not able to find what I want.Please some one help me.
Windows may log certain authentication events in the Security event-log, however this will only contain useful information if you used local user accounts and gave each person their own local user account (but if you did that, you could prevent them from deleting each others' files).
However Windows does not log SMB share file activity. The Shares list in MMC/Computer Management only lists currently active/open shares too.
All I can suggest is to avoid this from happening in future by either tightening security by creating user-accounts for each person and giving them their own shared directory which only they (and you) have write-access to. Another alternative is to have a program running in the background on your computer that monitors the shared folder for new files and when it detects a file has been placed it moves it away to an inaccessible directory elsewhere.
I've upgraded a SharePoint WSS 3.0 farm to SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
Now I got a strange problem in a web part that modifies and creates Content Library files.
The user is only allowed to modify a file if he also got Contribute/Full access on site level (might be enough to have these permission on List/Library but I haven't tried). The user already got contribute permissions on the parent folder and on the file (inherits).
Another problem on the same site but on a different Library. All users on the site can read all files in this Library but when i try to copy a file from one list to another using the following code i get access denied when OpenBinaryStream is executed.
SPFile newFile = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["ToLibrary"].RootFolder.Files.Add(folder + "/default.aspx", oldFile.OpenBinaryStream());
Both the problems only occurs on the upgraded farm and works fine on the WSS 3.0 farm.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I had a similar issue which turned out to be a setting for lists/libraries. In the Advanced Settings for a list/library, there is a section labeled "Item-Level Permissions" - this setting can be used to deny access for anyone without Full Control rights to the item. Unless there is a specific need, Read Access should be set to Read all items and Create and Edit access should be set to Create and edit all items.
I had the same issue and resolved it by going to Site Settings > Edit Permission Level > and giving the 'Contribute' permission level the ability to 'Open Items - View the source of documents with server-side file handlers'
I hope to migrate one of my windows app to mac.
As we know, on vista/win7, there are public data directories that one app can add, save and delete data files without RAC permission.
Are there same directories on Mac/Cocoa?
or
I can store the data to any directory without any problem and any permission?
Welcome any comment
These are the 3 you can write to:
~/Library/Application Support/app-identifier
~/Library/app-identifier
~/Library/Caches/app-identifier
(replace app-identifer with your app identifier)
More info here under "File-System Usage Requirements for the Mac App Store"
You can, by default, unless you enable sand-boxing, write to any directory the user has access to. Generally though, Cocoa apps store data in the user's home directory in ~/Library/Application Support/<your-app-name>
