    You need permission to perform this action


    Hi all, sorry if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find anything that fit this exactly.

    I'm trying to drag and drop a file from one place to another, and get this error
    "You need permission to perform this action

    You require permission from Harmon-PC/Harmon to make changes to this file."

    The part that's annoying me is that I AM Harmon. I've got ownership of the file, and as far as I know I've got permissions as far as I know. and yet, I still can't move the file. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Simply going to the file>right click>properties>security>choose your user name
    See the option "full control" tick,oherwise you need to modify the permission correspond to your account.

    You might try the following first:

    I thank you for the quick reply, the problem is, I HAVE Ownership of the file and I'm still getting told that I require permission from me to move it.

    Did you check to see that you have ownership and full control of the location you are attempting to move the file to?

    I found the solution based on the solution on the Persian forum of AsanDownload (Here)
    1- Download and install "Right Click Enhancer"
    2- Run the program and go to "Right Click Tweaker". Then select "Take Ownership"
    3- Right-click on the file/folder and select "Take Ownership"
    Now, you should automatically have all permissions to copy/rename/move and etc
    To make sure your account has all the permissions, go to "Properties > Security > Permission"
    and see if you have "Full Control" for your account. If not, edit it and put a check mark for full control.
