Advanced/Special Permissions
In older versions of Windows, advanced permissions were referred to as special permissions. There are 14 permissions in total. Depending on whether the permissions are applied at the file or folder level, what effect they have may change. For example, the first permission “List folder/Read Data” when applied at the folder level will allow files to be viewed in the folder, however when applied to a file, will allow the file to be read.
The 6 basic permissions map directly to the 14 advanced permissions. In some cases only one advanced permission maps to one basic permission, in other cases, more than one advanced permission maps to one basic permission. When you select a basic permission, this is essentially selecting the required advanced permissions, however you can press to choose individual advanced permissions if you want.
Example
1) Create a folder on the d drive called Docs
2) Right click the Docs folder, select properties and then select the security tab.
3) To disable inheritance, press the button advanced at the bottom of the security tab and then press the button at the bottom of the Window “Disable inheritance”.
4) When prompted select the option “Remove all inherited permissions from this object”. This will allow us to start with no permissions. An explicit entry will be created which gives all administrators full control.
5) To make changes to permissions, select the permission that you want to change and then press the edit button.
6) By default only the basic permissions will be shown, to show the advanced permissions, select the option “Show advanced permissions”.
7) If you select basic permissions, the advanced permissions will automatically change as required. Essentially the Windows interface shows the basic permissions based on what advanced permissions it has enabled.
8) Once the advanced permissions have been selected press o.k. to go back to the previous screen.
9) It is important to notice that when permissions have been added, there will be a column on the far left that says “applies to”. This will indicate which files and folders the permission will affect.
10) To add a new permission, press the add button. When you add a new permission you will need to select the option “Select a principal”. This is the object that the permission will apply to. For example you could select a user or group here.
11) On the screen is also an option, “Only apply these permissions to objects and/or containers within this container”. If this option is ticked, the permission will only be applied to objects in that folder.
12) When permissions are added or removed, Windows will display the permissions based on what is configured. For example, you may add or remove permissions, however the number of lines of permissions shown may not change, but some of the information that is shown may change.
Advanced permissions
List folder/Read Data: If this is applied to a folder, it allows the user to see a list of files and folders in that folder even if the user does not have any permissions to those files or folders. If the permission is applied to a file, this permission gives the user the ability to read the data in that file.
Read attributes: This includes the basic attributes like read-only, hidden, system and archive. If the user does not have this permission, when they open the properties of a file or folder they will not be able to see the data on the general tab.
Read extended attributes: Extended attributes are attributes that are added using software. This is usually done in alternative operating systems and is rare on Windows operating systems.
Read permissions: This allows the user to read permissions that have been assigned to that file or folder. This essentially allows the user to read the information displayed on the security tab. If the user does not have this permission they will not have access to this tab.
Traverse folder/execute file: If this permission is applied to a file, it allows the user to run that file as an executable.

Thankyou cuz I'm learning to make a server.
Thanks. Best of luck building the server.
Oh thank you again, as momma woould say "Baggers can't be choosey!!! But, I had a difficult problem in getting IE11 to load on windows 7. I think windows 10 has edge, but even that needs to be tweaked out with the TCP/IP settings. I know IE 11 has a Trident engine and that's the big problem- sucks really!!, and I even got a standalone Google Fra
me on it, but it seems to make nooooo difference in (speed of loading) webpages page as fast as chrome. Is there any way you can demo how to change out Trident for a fast engine like Google chrome V8 like a googgle frame thing. How to enter that code!! all consideration will be deeply appreciated
Have you ever tried removing special permissions for viewing basic/extended attributes on a file? I removed it, even put deny on those permissions, yet I can still view attributes on that file.
What permissions do I need configure, to write and read. But I do not want that the user can create a new map.
Thx, best tutorials.
Thank you!
Sir , thanks for the helpful information.
How to do the same setting for ms office files to in network share in file server?
Please help 🙏
You can apply the same settings on a network file server. Keep in mind that when you access the file share windows will use the most restrictive permission, thus if you make the share permission more restrictive this will use the access the user connecting to the share will have.
I have a Question, I am using a HP NAS and I have a folder called TEST (\\HPNAS\TEST)
I got 2 users User A and User B, User A should Access all files and Folders including editing and Deletion of files and folders, but B is Restricted to Delete files, but he must have a privilege to edit or Move files from one folder to another.
I tried in many ways, I give User A, Edit Permission and User B, Edit Permission and unchecked Delete Files Option from Advanced Option. In this scenario, User B can edit notepad files but cannot edit Word, or Excel. But User B cannot Delete Files.
Then Removed Edit Permission of User B and Provide Read and Write Basic Permissions, the User B can edit notepad files but cannot edit Word, or Excel.
I suspect since Ms-Office working with a Temp file while working and when click save it creates a file if Permission is there and export all content from that working Temp file to Newly created the file and Save.
Is there is any way to overcome this issue, Awaiting for your comments.

Hi I cannot download apps on Microsoft Store in Windows 10, This Program is blocked by group policy, how can I resolve this issue.
Check the group policy would be the easiest way. If you don't have access to do this, you need to speak to your IT department.
if you are administrator user but folder owner is differnt , will you be able to open the folder or change security permissions
If the administrator does not have permission they won't be able to make changes or access the folder. Unless, the administrator is the owner of the folder. However, an administrator can take ownership of a folder and give themselves access.
Pls, it is only general, sharing and customize tab that is show in the folder properties
Security should also be available, and there may be a 'Previous Versions' tab.
Hello,
I want to delete a domain user profile from a computer, but its asking for ''you need permission to delete this folder'' then I 've taken ownership on that user profile data but again error is same while I've also ticked the option " replace owner on sub-container and objects'' while taking ownership .
The folder is also not inherited from its parent folder, please help here many thanks ITFreeTraining.
If you don't have permission to delete the folder you will not be able to delete it. Taking ownership gives you the access to change permissions so you are half way there. Once you take ownership, add permissions for your user to delete the folder and you should be able to delete it.
hi, how to do it in windows server 2008 r2 for Allowing read, write, execute but not delete? thanks in advance
What are you looking to achieve?
how can I allow and deny permission on the same folder as it used to be in server 2008 r2?
+Shoaib Nasir Deny will overwrite the deny permission. So if both are used at the same time the user will always denied access.
hi ,
I was not aware of this permisssions and i have changed them all to only read to my E-disk that to all ie. to admin, user,owner etc.. as a special permission now what can i do to change them all to the default permissions
Did you find out how to get "Special Permission:??? and if you did could you please share it with me? Thank you :)!
i would like some help to ged rid of read only folder and files on windows 8.1 / 10
***** Change the security of the file so you have access. If you can't, take ownership of the file and then change the permissions.
I think another way to give permission (Read, Write, Excite but not delete).
is by selecting standard permission,
Read - Execute
and
List folder contents
Finally we will have all the permission we need without delete.
However, you have good videos, thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for sharing the video. That really good job. Thanks again.
You're most welcome, thanks for watching.
In this case the user not able to save file or rename.
Great Video!!!, Bt I would like to get "Special Permission" how do I do that?? Oh,I looked at the below comments and they seem to answer my question sort of.
Did you get the answer you needed?
:)!! Yes!!! I did!!! Thank you sooooooooooooooooo very much!!!!
How do you enable special permissions?
I'm referring to the thing labeled "Special Permissions" that is greyed out.
To view the special permission settings, click the Advanced button on the Security tab to open the Advanced Security Settings For Data dialog box. In addition to the normal NTFS permissions, you can use 14 “special access” permissions. These let you fine-tune the permissions granted for a particular object. They’re not actually separate permissions from the standard ones, but refinements of them. For example, the standard Read permission actually involves four separate permissions rolled into one. The special permissions are the four separate settings: Read Data, Read Attributes, Read Permissions, and Read Extended Attributes. By default, the special access permissions are set according to the standard permission settings you have specified, but you can change them as desired.
I'm not talking about the Special Permissions you mention, I'm talking about the "Special Permissions" tickbox that is grayed out. I want to check that box but I can't.
Exactly, it's grayed out because you edit them through the Advanced permissions instructions I provided. The greyed box is only used to "uncheck" special permissions options.
To view the special permission settings, click the Advanced button on the Security tab to open the Advanced Security Settings For Data dialog box.
I have two users in the same group. This group has a shared folder. I want to decentralize:
- The user who created the file in that directory has full rights on the file
- other users do not have the right to delete, edit.
help me.
NTFS permissions would allow you to remove the ability to Delete and make it Read-only for the group of other users while the Owner maintains full permissions. You may have to define it explicitly.
i cant understand anything
