SharePoint Migration Tool - PACK FAILURE","Packaging Failure:Unauthorized access to source file
Using PowerShell code as mentioned below, I am able to update creation date with modified date value using following code, it seems to be working. However I am still trying to understand to my original post and not able to resolve it.
Import-Csv -Path 'C:\Users\usernae\Downloads\changecreationtime.csv' |
ForEach-Object { (Get-Item $_.filename)| % {$_.CreationTime = $_.LastWriteTime}}

Hello Avia!
That sounds great although I am not familiar with powershell. For different permission levels you have to use the different groups on top level site to first selecting each person into e.g. the siteowners. This default group has a level called „full access“. Then people into the group called „members“, who should „contribute“, and finally people as normally User permission called „User“ which should have the ability to only view and / or download files.
All These permissions on top level site will be inherited in all subsides then. Go to your top level site page. You'll find the groups in top level site on the gear on top Right- then click „site settings“.
After you selected the right users in your groups, you can go to each doc lib or list app in those lib or list settings (also on the gear!) to decide which group has which permissions.
IMPORTANT: Don’t do single permissions for each list item or each document pls.!!! This confuses you after a while!!Take groups or create your own groups for a list or lib. This is the trick!
Pls see the Tutorials in YouTube about groups and permission levels in SharePoint! It’s worth it! Example: the vids of Kalmstrom.com

I am having exact permission error here.
Let me reach out to my infrastructure team to confirm my item level permission on the folders. Hope this helps me as well.
Thanks.

- Hi Avian, I remember of a story months ago that amazon had trucks of stored files because uploading/migrating is slower than transporting the big data IRL. Sounds funny but even in Germany with 5G transfer rates it’s sometimes annoying. ask your provider if they have an idea for widen up your transfer rate. Greets, Eva
Hi Eva,
It was item level permission issue of File Server. When infra team assigned item level permission to all the files we are able to migrate files without any issue.
However I am wondering about tool performance. When we migrate 11 GB contents (9000 files approx), it took almost 23 hrs to finish the migration. Approx 480 MB per hour.
FYI, I am doing migrate with "Migrate Permission" option, hope this is not slowing performance.
We have 10 MBPS dedicated internet connection on dedicated VM (windows 2012 R2), but still performance is very poor. We are not running any other applications on this server and no other user logged remotely.
I will also try that instead of migrate whole folder (Level 1), I will try to migrate level 2 folder using CSV. In csv I will add multiple entry for level 2 folders. Hoping this helps.
I also tried PowerShell HSM command let, but almost got same performance.
Any advise to improve the migration speed.
Regards
Avian
Hi Eva,
When I said Folder Level Permission or Item level Permission means these kind of permission on File Server not on SharePoint.
I already learned about the SharePoint Permission by your shared URL.

- Hey there! Folder level permission means you are only a“Member“ and have only the ability to „contribute. Ask your infra team to give a training on SharePoint. Or ask your siteowner (next level of your current permissions) and then your website collection admin and then your SP admin. SP isn’t only another file share, it must be taught to users. Greets, Eva
Hi Eva
I am working with infra team. Initial investigation says we have folder level permission, but dont have item level permission. Because If I copy file manually I am getting error "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file"
I will keep you update on this.
Thanks

Hello Avian 1 !
Regarding your first post on the access issue I wonder if this yet is solved or not:
"Packaging Failure:Unauthorized access to source file" ?
Did you check your access permissions to your file server as i suppose?
Is there any admin on your side to check this back?
Greets, Eva.
Hi Eva
Thanks for sharing the information. I will go thru this. I am still trying to figure out the original problem which I mentioned in initial post.
If you got any solution on this please let me know.
Thanks
Avian
Hi again! There's also a good vid of changing the default permission groups and creating own groups.
