Windows Server 2012 R2 can't set advanced permissions on directories

I'm logged in as the Administrator and I'm trying to set the permissions on a directory to allow read/write/delete. However, when I go to the advanced permissions, the entire page is disabled. I cannot change the settings.

Help please? thanks!

Ashok,
Thanks!
I read Rick Tan's reply that you quoted here also and found that answer.

However, it's confusing.
So here's what to do:
right click folder,
properties
security tab
advanced option
disable permissions button.
Now you can select the Users and advanced tab and the settings you want.

thanks!
