I see a lot of answers, such as: How to change the user and group permissions for a directory, by name? but they all involve using os.chown() which requires a userid number and groupid number. I haven't figured out how to filter out questions that use that method since it doesn't work for me.

I'm on a Windows platform, NOT UNIX, so I don't have access to import pwd and import grp to get the ID numbers.

Basically, I used Python to copy a folder, via:

shutil.copytree(_dir + mostRecentFile, _dir + mostRecentFile + " - Copy")

But when I right click on the folder and go to Properties -> Security, I notice that one of the 'Group or user names' is missing. When I copy it manually, that 'Group or user names' is NOT missing. How do I add that 'Group or user names' via python?

Thanks!
