Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

Want to restrict standard user account to share any folder and sub-files, but admin account can share that folder and sub-files.

I Want to Restrict the Standard User Account from Sharing Any folder and files but the Admin Account Can Share that folder and files.

Till now I have used :- ( I'm Using Windows 11 pro edition )

Create a New User Group:

• In the Local Users and Groups window, right-click on "Groups" and select "New Group."
  
• Name the group (e.g., "RestrictedUsers") and click "Create."
  

1. Assign Permissions to the Folder:
   
   • Navigate to the folder you want to restrict in File Explorer.
     
   • Right-click on the folder, select "Properties," and go to the "Security" tab.
     
2. Remove Sharing Permissions for Standard Users:
   
   • In the Security tab, click on "Edit" or "Advanced" to modify permissions.
     
   • Select the standard user group (e.g., "Users") from the list and click "Remove" to revoke sharing permissions.
     
   • Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
     
3. Add Standard Users to the Restricted Group:
   
   • In the Local Users and Groups window (lusrmgr.msc), double-click on the group you created (e.g., "RestrictedUsers").
     
   • Click "Add" and add the standard user accounts you want to restrict from sharing.
     
   • Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.
     

Is there any other alternate method to restrict the standard account to share file-folder?
