Last time I looked, under Windows, the user gets the full set of permissions on their home directory and inheritance is enabled for subdirectories. <username> is not the directory name but simpler for some people than writing %username% or YourUserName.

My personal choice for the root of my calibre libraries is c:\users\%username%\calibre with the various calibre library directories as subdirectories of the calibre directory. Looking at the permissions on the calibre directory, all permissions are inherited from the %username% directory and ditto for the library directories right down to the data directories.

If you have mucked with the default permissions, inheritance, whatever, that's a you problem and not due to the operating system.
