Permission Issues When Copying the wwwroot folder

Question

How do we fix a permission issue when trying to copy the wwwroot folder? Error text is something like 'You do not have permission to access a file in this folder".

Answer 1

I did the following to resolve this:

Step 1: Right click on the wwwroot folder and select 'Give access to' for your user account (mccadmin):

Step 2: Click 'Yes, share the items'. Some other windows may pop up: just continue answering positively.

Step 3: Test your new access by copying the wwwroot folder to a zipped file. Try restarting the server if necessary.
