We playing with permissions today!
(Do not run away)
Objective
I am trying to open a file located in subfolders of the WindowsApps folder.
Issue
I cannot open that file because I have no permissions, I am prompted to contact the owner.
Infos
I found online how to change permissions of the WindowsApps folder, and managed to add my user (which is an administrator and the only user by the way) with full control. Ticked this permissions should be applied to subfolders and files. I can now open the WindowsApps folder! I can navigate to that file through some subfolders. But I still cannot open that file.
Important Info
Apparently I managed to have full control of WindowsApps (leonardo is my user, administrator)folder but not of the subfolder containing that file. Infact that subfolder is owned by "Administrators", and in the Security tab there is no me. ALSO I can edit just fine the Security tab of WindowsApps folder BUT cannot touch at all the Security tab of the subfolder (or of the file itself).
Question
Why is that? I suppose I should somehow login with the "Administrators" user, but I thought that was more of a Category rather than a user. Infact I am the Administrator. How am I supposed to login in "Administrators" and change that Security tab? Or have full control of that subfolder and finally that file anyway?
Screenshots

I have taken some screenshots to make you see the Security Tabs of:
- WindowsApps folder
- a subfolder (MSPhoenix...)
- the SubFolder I have no permissions on (which is a subfolder itself of the previous subfolder I have permissions on)
