Give access to network drive active Directory
|
Open Windows Explorer by pressing the
Windows key and clicking Computer; then browse to the folder whose permissions you want to manage. Right-click the folder you want to manage and then choose Properties from the contextual menu. The Properties dialog box for the folder appears. Click the Sharing tab; then click Advanced Sharing. The Advanced Sharing dialog box appears. Click Permissions. The dialog box shown appears. This dialog box lists all the users and groups to
whom you’ve granted permission for the folder. Initially, read permissions are granted to a group called Everyone, which means that anyone can view files in the share but no one can create, modify, or delete files in the share. When you select a user or group from the list, the check boxes at the bottom of the list change to indicate which specific permissions you’ve assigned to each user or group. Click the Add button. The dialog box shown appears. Enter the name of the user or group to whom you want to grant permission and then click OK. If you’re not sure of the name, click the Advanced button. This action brings up a dialog box from which you can search for existing users. When you click OK, you return to the Share Permissions tab, with the new user or group added. Select the appropriate Allow and Deny check boxes to specify which permissions to allow for the user or group. Repeat Steps 5–7 for any other permissions that you want to add. When you’re done, click OK.

question
Hello. I've this situation: How I can do it? I read that changing an option in advanced network options (unable the auto-login) will work, but I haven't this option (because the system is on a domain, I guess). Many many thanks!! windows-10-network
Hi there, When using a local account to access a domain network share, you will be prompted to enter the user credential for the domain. Please note that all servers in a domain must be passed domain credentials. If the credentials passed are in a different context, then the file servers (member servers) of the domain will attempt to check their local user accounts only. If the credentials do not match, then the user is prompted for valid credentials (or access is not permitted). In your situation, the users are logging locally on the clients. This creates a user session in the LOCALMACHINE\USERNAME context. Because the user is not in the domain context, DOMAIN\USERNAME, any attempts to connect to domain resources will require either a server local account that matches the local machine credentials or a prompt for a new username/password. It is recommended to use domain users to access the domain resources. Meanwhile, if you insist, as a workaround, local accounts on each member server where the shared folders are stored will have to be created to directly map to the same username/password combinations the users are using on each local machine --If the reply is helpful, please Upvote and Accept it as an answer--
Hi! Even if I try to do with "Connect to network drive" where I could force an user, I also have an error (despite I'm forcing the machine\myuser login). There are any way to do it?
MotoX80 answered Dec 2, '21 There are share permissions and there are file+folder permissions. The share permissions act as a filter to the file+folder permissions. So if the file+folder permissions show "everyone:full", but the share permissions only have "everyone:read", then when any user accesses the files via the share they will only be able to read (not update) the files. When I share a folder I always use the "Advanced Sharing" button. I never use the "Share" button because it disables permission inheritance on that folder. I prefer to manage folder permissions myself. So start by analyzing the share permissions. Your local account will be able to access the share (typically) via it's name, or "everyone" or "authenticated users". If you only have Domain Users, that won't work. What do you have listed in the share permissions? What is listed in the file/folder permissions?
Hi! Testing now I have only the local user created (nothing about domain users). Neither users allowed. But in my personal PC (logged with a domain user) I just got an error, not the user/password prompt. Even if I try to do as network resource, where I can force user: I don't know how to do it :( What I want is by default Windows asking for user/password when you try to enter like in the 4th (grey) image.
