At my office, I set up a homegroup for the two computers. I use one computer and my assistant uses the other. All the files we use are stored on the hard drive of her computer. She can access them all right. I can access most of them, but there are many that I am unable to access, mainly the ones that she created recently.
For example, when we receive documents from clients, she will scan them to a .pdf and save them in the appropriate client folder. Then, when I try to access the .pdf, I receive the following error:
There was an error opening the document. Access is denied.
When I go to:
1. Document Properties
2. Security
3. Advanced
I look at the owner of the document and it is my assistant. After I change to owner to myself, then I can view and access the documents on the other computer.
Is there a way to automatically assign permission to access files to other users of other computers?
