Hi there !
Thanks for the fast reply.
They're using SMB, and to describe what she can open :
First main directory is called COM, COM contains every other data / files / directory in it, after opening COM she still has permissions to do things ONLY on COM, and then after opening any other directory in COM she lose permissions she had previously.
I don't know if I describe it well enough.

Have you tried resetting the file permissions for the share? (using the reset control on the bottom left of the file access tab in the share settings),
That will re-apply the settings you are using recursively on every file and folder. You'll get a notification when it completes.

I guess you are refering to this option ?
If so the answer is No, I didn't try this yet, and I'm not really confortable with resetting stuff around tbh since it has been done by the previous tech team. If you tell me it could fix the issue then I guess I'll give it a try.

It often does fix permission issues. As I said, it just sets all the files and folders to the file permissions that are listed on the tab.

Hi there,
Thanks for the replies, I'll give it a shot after discussing about it with my manager later, just want to make sure we don't f*ck up anything with the perms while doing this !
I'll give an update next week.
