Example from collector logs:
Failed to get file permissions for \\MACHINE-NAME\C$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQL16\MSSQL\Binn\Xtp\gen\include\hkengdef.h: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Solution
In order to fix this, we need to go to the sql server installation directory and make sure that the user under which Sql Secure collector is running have enough access permissions on all the folders and files inside installation directory(uncheck "Read Only" checkbox in the properties) and not Read-only access.
