The user is able to access the network folder and open items, but is not able to delete anything. This indicates that the user has Read and Execute permissions on the folder but does not have Write or Modify permissions.

In Windows, there are several permissions that can be granted to a user or group for a folder or file. The four basic folder permissions are:

  1. Read - Allows the user to view the contents of a file or folder.
  2. Write - Allows the user to create or modify files or folders within the folder.
  3. Execute - Allows the user to run applications or scripts located within the folder.
  4. Modify - Allows the user to perform both Write and Delete operations on files or folders within the folder.

Based on the scenario given in the question, the user has Read and Execute permissions but not Write or Modify permissions. This means that the user can view the contents of the folder and run any applications or scripts located within it, but cannot create or modify any files or folders. Additionally, the user cannot delete any files or folders within the folder.

Therefore, the permission that the user requires is Write or Modify. Granting Write or Modify permission to the user would allow them to create or modify files or folders within the folder, as well as delete files or folders if they have Modify permission.
