I’m trying to figure out what permissions are required that would allow a user’s account to see the volume information when they run the dir command in a cmd terminal.

This is what the user is seeing:

 C:\Cartridges>dir /al
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is F903-96F1

 Directory of C:\Cartridges

    I figured this out. This was indeed a permissions problem. Initially we weren’t sure if it was a policy issue -OR- something to do with the UAC. In the end we needed to add a group that the user was a member of to the top level directory, C:\Cartridges. The permissions on the group needed to be:

    • Read & Execute
    • List folder contents
    • Read

    These seemed to be the minimum set that allowed the Volume strings to be displayed correctly.
