    Hi,
    this means simply, that the user account, which you use to connect, has not enough permissions to access this device via network. Since you let us in the dark, what kind of device you mean, there is not much help we can provide.
    Security settings for a printer you find in the printers properties on the security tab.
    If the device is involving a web interface, the user account may need access to the particular folder used in IIS.
    If the device is on another system, you need appropriate permissions with a matching user account also on that system.
    Only to name a few situations.
    Best greetings from Germany
