Hi everyone!
In a shared folder i receive this error:
the user acquisti has lower privileges than mine, because i'm an administrator.
In the properties i have this:
Why do the user "michela" has the full control?
in mine WS2012 i'm an administrator, and she's only a normal user. How can fix this?

Hello!
These are the NTFS permissions, have you checked the Share permissions? These are two totally different permissions.
Best regards,

Hi,
yes, and "andrea" has also the tick on "Full Control", that "michela" has not
-
Is this the properties of a file ? It might be that the user has created a file, therefore has full control of it because he/she is the owner of the file.

Even if Michaela does not have "Full Control" on the Share permissions, she will be able to create folders within the share, and if Michaela creates a folder she will be the owner of the folder, which means she will have "Full Control" NTFS permissions.

With "read" permission will he be able to edit documents?Yes, by giving only Read permissions to the share.
Normal end-users don't need more than Read anyways in most cases.

No they will not, so in this case you would have to give them Read & Change share permissions.

This is actually normal/correct behavior, an administrator user is treated like a standard user and gets that admin challenge that you get.
This is caused by the User Account Control also known as "UAC", so even if you have administrative rights, you don't actually have them unless you explicitly request them.
For testing purposes you can disable UAC and see how it works, but I do NOT recommend disabling UAC as it's purpose is to protect you from vulnerabilities in your browser and other applications.
You can find very good information about this over here:
