You take mentioned that yous're adding user objects to the group. Accept y'all fabricated sure your user business relationship is a member of the group, and that you have forced a gpupdate and/or rebooted?

Try calculation the user account instead. Then run gpupdate /force (Click Start, then search for cmd. In the command prompt window enter gpupdate /force and press enter)
Finally practice a reboot, and try accessing the binder once more.

Adding a figurer to a group which gives folder admission won't work, you need to add user accounts instead.

@brentcriddle, how tin can the user access his/her file in a local calculator if he/she login to a network business relationship.

If the user is logging into a network business relationship, they volition as well go a local profile on the local calculator (C:\Users\USERNAME). They volition take local admission to their profile, but not to other user's profiles (so for example, if yous and I both logged into the aforementioned computer with our individual network accounts, I could access my local data, just not yours, unless you lot specifically give me admission).

With regard to network folders, if you have a share such as \\server\share and so you would create a security group (in our example, let's call it UserAccess). So you add together the network user business relationship (let's call our user Brent) to the UserAccess group. Finally, y'all would leap into that security tab on your shared binder, and add the grouping UserAccess with any access you lot like (read, read/write, modify, and then on).

From there, the user needs to reboot, and they should be able to access that binder.

How have yous prepare it up currently?

I did what yous've said, I create user account in network, and a group, Example in Hr Group there are three users, and I create a binder in server proper noun "Hour" and the sharing permission is only Hr can open the folder, and in security I change information technology. Only when I login using my network account and I'chiliad not in the Hr group I can access the HR folder in server, in the Binder Share settings just the HR group and the administrator, just in security there are 3 users, the HR, Administrator and User Domain..

The problem is even so I tin can access the folder that are not for me.

Are you in the Domain Admins group? I would imagine yous would have an entry in the security tab either for Domain Admins, or for the Administrators group on the PC where the share actually resides.

If that is the example, and you lot are an administrative user, that would explain why you tin access the folders. What I would do for testing is create a brand new user account, which is not added to ANY groups (so Domain Users should be the only entry in the Fellow member Of tab). Then log into a domain workstation with that user account and see if they tin admission the 60 minutes binder.

Just the server is in domain admin grouping, the users and computers are in User Domain grouping.

Tin yous check your user account (under the Member Of tab), and confirm you're non in whatever admin groups. Also check the security tab for the shared folder, and make sure y'all take non added either "Everyone", "Authenticated Users", or "Domain Users" to this tab.

All the computers and in User Domain Group, and in my shared folder security tab I tin't remove the user domain, I think that'southward the reason why other user'due south access the secured folder. How tin can I remove the User Domain in security? cause when I remove it, an error popular-up unable to remove cause it is built in in the domain.

I think it sounds similar y'all're trying to remove the Domain User grouping from the user account - is that correct?

If it's okay??

If you're trying to remove Domain Users from a user account, information technology can't exist done (well technically it Can be done, but you don't desire to). Y'all should remove Domain Users from the folder security instead. Take a look at the attached screenshots. I accept:

1. Security group named "HR Security Grouping" with UserA and UserB added to the group

two. Screenshot of Member Of tab for UserA

3. Folder security for the FileShare shared folder. Notation that in this example, Administrators and Users likewise have read access. I have added the Hr Security Grouping to this binder and granted Modify access. In this example, everyone can access the folder. I tin lock this downwards by removing the Users group from the folder - this will upshot in the folder Merely being attainable by the Administrators and the Hour Security Group members.

Does the above brand sense?
