How To Set File Permissions In Windows 10

I suggest you to follow the below step and check if it helps.

Changing Permissions On A Folder

  1. Once you choose the file that you want to give permission, right click on it.
  2. Click on properties and go to security tab, check whether any permission have been set.
  3. After you have viewed the permissions that are already set, you can now click on the Advanced Button that is right below the 'Permissions for Authenticated Users'
  4. Once you have clicked Advanced, a box like this should appear, the 'Permission Entries' box, which shows all the permissions that are set for the users. Now, after you have spotted the user whose permissions you wish to change, click 'Change Permissions.
  5. Click on the user you would like to edit, and then click the option that says 'Change Permissions' which is right below the box.
  6. Once that is clicked, you are going to get the same box pop up, but this time, you can actually edit the options. You do that by clicking the 'Administrators' user again, and this time, you are going to click the 'Edit' option.
