security access issue

I have granted users access to the folder and to the individual reports inside it. After checking, it turned out that users can only see reports and they do not have access to the folder. Access is specified in the settings.

 

Can you suggest possible causes of this problem? Deleting and re-granting access to a folder is ineffective.

Hi @Julia1 ,

You can use Windows Terminal to change ownership of the folder. To gain ownership of a specific folder via Windows Terminal, follow these steps:

1.Right-click on the Start menu icon and select “Terminal (Admin).”
