Permission issue

[h4m]

Hello, could someone please help me with this. Anytime i make an NTlite preset i always seem to have weird permission issues with my program files folders. I basically have an admin account that does not have the permission to do anything in that folder. Even installing apps to these folders i have to right click and run as admin. I dont believe this is normal. I attached a photo that kinda shows the issue as well as the preset im using. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

When you say admin account, do you mean the Administrator account or a normal user with Admin rights?

Normal user with Admin rights. I wanna say thats why its like that, its no biggie i compared it to a reg install of win10 and its the same thing. When using an Admin Account its not like that. No worries, ill just set the program to run as Admin. Thanks for the response.

When you're not the Administrator, but have Admin rights -- UAC elevation is still required. That's how the security model works.
Windows does this to increase visibility ("are you sure?") before it performs any elevated action.

When apps ask if you want to install for everyone, it means run setup as Administrator instead your personal account.

I have the same icon on creating a folder under Program Files, but it allows me even without the UAC prompt (user with administrative priviledges, not "administrator").
Program Files is protected, that's expected.

h4m, are you saying clicking on that screenshot's Folder command with the shield icon does nothing on images deployed with this preset?

Thanks.

Sorry for getting back a little later but honestly the real issue im having is, any application that i try and run out of my program files folder has some kind of permission issue where i dont have any rights to access it, even using an Admin account, like not local but the actual admin account. Its just weird because on a normal install of windows i have no issue, but with my preset i do.

Thanks.

I see that you change some UAC settings in the preset.
Try with those kept at default next time.
Btw if you still have the issue, let me know an exact example what to try after the preset.
