Shared folder not giving prompt for user info

[thekeemo]

I am setting up a shared folder that needs to have users for different levels of access.

The way I did this in windows 10 is I shared the folder on a system and and added several users on the system.

When I connect to it from client systems I get a prompt to enter a username and password.

Now when I do it at my friends I dont get that prompt and instead I get an error that I dont have permission.

Ideas?

I would edit the share's security settings and assign permissions for each user explicitly.

That is what I did. Must have not worded it right.

When you are connecting to the share on another computer, are you already using a user account that matches one of the ones you've preconfigured in the share computer? Eg same username and password?

Yes. I would prefer not to have it like that though.

1. removing the home share  
2. using the net use command to delete all connections  ( drive letter not address)
3. adding the folder via map network drive  
4. that did it
