Error opening the file. Permission denied

I'm getting this error when I try to save my workflow: "Tool (xxx): Error opening file <mypath>. Access is denied."

 

But all my folders and files are with full control for everyone (the "Everyone" user and all others users).

 

Has anyone ever experienced this?

 

Tks!

are you saving to gallery? i've come across this issue when saving to scheduled workflows or gallery and the data is on a network drive. In that case, i switched to UNC file paths in the workflow dependencies. (Options -> Advanced Options -> Workflow Dependencies) Scheduler and gallery runs as a different "user" that might not have access to the file/mapped drive.

Yes, I'm saving to gallery. All files are saved locally. I've tried almost everything about permissions and file paths. The only thing that works was remove all inputs which I was getting "Access Denied" and put it all again. The bad thing about this approach is that I've lot of text files with fixed width, so I spent too much time to fix it.

 

The strangest thing is that I was importing from several files, all in the same folder and only a few have presented this error.

 

Thank you!
