When you attempt to add or remove users from file and folder permissions within Windows Exporer, a logon box appears and does not accept your administrator username and password.  This may prevent you from modifying the permissions.

Problem Cause

By default, all Windows servers are connected to Active Directory domain.  This causes Windows Explorer to add file and folder permissions based on Active Directory objects by default rather than local users and groups on your Liquid Web server.

Solution

Follow these steps to work around the issue.

    1.When the logon box appears, click the Cancel button.
    2.Click on the Location… button.
    3.Select your local machine name from the top of the list.
    4.Click OK.
    5.You may now add local users to the file and folder permissions.
