You need permission to perform this action

[thcr18]

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 All the users in Security(You,SYSTEM,ADMINISTRATORS) are given full control?
Did you open UAC?Any program is using in the files?

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.
