Pycharm running miniconda environment installed in C:\ProgramData on Windows10
Answered
I have my usual user account on Windows10 running miniconda3 which has installed conda environments to C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\envs. I can just launch PyCharm and point to the conda environment and everything works.
Recently, I set up another user account for work. But when I launch PyCharm and use the same conda environment, it gives me PermissionError Access is denied. To get it to work, I need to launch PyCharm as Administator. Why is that so? Is there something I can re- configure so that I won't have to launch PyCharm as Administrator? Do I need to change the permissions for the environment directory. I can browse C:\ProgramData\Miniconda3\envs fine.

Are the permissions correct for all folders and subfolders?
Most likely there is some file(s) which cannot be used by the current user because it was created by another user.
Thanks Sergey. I changed the permissions for the entire directory and it worked.
