📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to grant access to the local service account NT Service\MSSQLSERVER on Windows Server 2012. The original poster struggles with the GUI method, and a suggested workaround is to use 'nt service\ms', but they encounter issues with listing principals. The conversation clarifies that the problem may be due to selecting the wrong object types, with advice to enable "Built-in security principals," but it appears the user might need to differentiate between sharing and setting permissions, as indicated by the final response.

Looks like you're trying to share and not set permissions
