Access Denied message when attempting to save a file on the network.

[Rudolf Amarlapudi]

Hello,

We are running a Windows 2012R2 server. Workstations in question are running Windows 10 x64 with Office 2013.

Under the folder share, the user has the following permissions:

• Traverse folder / execute file
• Read attributes
• Read extend attributes
• Read permissions

User should be allowed access to edit a file within the folder. User has the following permissions for the file:

• Traverse folder /execute file
• List folder / read data
• Read attributes
• Read extended attributes
• Create files / write data
• Create folders / append data
• Write attributes
• Write extended attributes
• Delete
• Read permissions

The user is able to open the file in question (in Excel). However when she tries to save it, she receives the following error:

Microsoft Excel

Access denied. Contact your administrator.



I was able to copy the file to the local machine and save changes with no issues. The same issue is present on multiple workstations.

User is accessing the file via a mapped network drive.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,

Rudy
