Hi Peter,
Thanks for posting,
From you post, you want to change permission of files inside a folder in
your initial post. Currently it seems that you have found a solution for
the issue and it works fine. However, you are wondering why you cannot
change the permission as administrator but can do it as the work account
when granting the work account with administrative privilege.
To make me more clearly on the issue, please help me know the following
information:
You have indicated "I cannot change anything inside this folder and I
cannot change the > permission of this folder even as an administrator."
Please help me know the error when you failed to change the permission as
administrator.
Actually, we must have administrative privilege to change the permission
using cacls.exe. Based on my test, it works fine on my side using both
built-in administrator account and user with administrative privilege. As
you said, if built-in administrator cannot do the work, I am wondering if
you are experiencing other permission issue as administrator. If so, if
could be an issue related to the security database. You may refer to the
following article:

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.

|
| I found a solution: I grant administrator status to my work account, then
| from my work account I was able to add more permissions to the folder.
|
| The work account used to be an admin type account but I changed it to
| limited for security purpose. I wonder why I can add permission in this
| account with admin status but cannot do so in the other admin account.
