Windows Server - You require permission from to make changes to this file
Dear Experts,
In that daily job we give authorisations for users to folders on Windows servers, the actual task is to provide access for a group of users to allow moving files in the folder and its subfolders.
Normally that has been done to add them a security group which have Modify rights, but came a strange case with the error message for those users:
You require permission from IT\J.Smith to make changes to this file
I am not sure whether that is important but those are several Excel files, it has been checked:
1) IT\J.Smith is the owner of that file
2) IT\J.Smith has Full control on the Security tab to that file
but
3) the security group with all users have the Modify rights
According to this they should be able to move those files, should not they? Could you please advise what could be tried, I know that the ownership could be changed but that is not allowed. Simply not clear why the Modify rights are not enough to move those files.
thanks,

What about the destination folder? does user have permission on it? Try creating a new file and see if you can reproduce the same issue...
The article from following link should give you a fair idea about permissions..

And if user is accessing the files through share then you should consider the share permissions too..

Thanks for that link, it is very good summary.
Relating the target folder, we are waiting the information to where the user tried the moving and after it can be checked.
Personally I have Full control on the file and was able to move, so really maybe the missing rights on the target folder will be.
