Selecting which permissions will be effective for the Network share is essential.

 

We must ensure that the service account has sufficient access to the Network share path.

  • Step 2 – Right-click the folder or file and click “Properties” in the context menu.
  • Step 3 – Switch to the “Security” tab and click “Advanced”.
  • Step 4 – In the “Permissions” tab, you can see the permissions held by users over a particular file or folder.
