  • User(s) with rights to access a directory, based on file permissions, can be denied access if they don't have adequate rights to the share they are using to access it
  • They could be unable to access the share, or just unable to to write or delete items in a directory where file permissions would grant them access
  • File permissions can be checked using the command below
