Permission issues when using RDP
Hello experts,
We are currently experiencing a permissions issue when using an application. For this application, the user will remote into the Server as separate ID (not admin) and use the software. The software has a configuration file that is located in c:\programdata\"Folder". The issue is when running the application, the software needs to read and write to a config file in that folder. We have a group policy in place that hides the C drive from users. In this configuration file and parent folder I have given the domain users read and write permission. Even with these permissions set, it seems that only when ran as administrator it will successfully allow access to the file with generating an error. A user that does not RDP into the machine and runs and connects locally within the office does not experience this issue. What methods could we use to give them access to these files with the correct permissions without making an administrator. Thank you!

Presumably, when you mean the person runs the application in the office, means they are on a workstation that interacts with the application/data on the server. The GPO you reference might apply to workstations but is not applying to the server.
Programdata is in c:\ and if you restrict user access to that location, how should the program running as the user access that location?
If you have a virtual environment, setting up a new VM that will function as the RDS setupI. The current time.
What is the application in question?
Check the effective permissions on the programdata or the specific application config file.
