I'm getting an error of "You don't currently have permission to access this folder" from osfmount when opening \users\user(or whatever user profile folder), from a raw file produced by dd (or ddrescue).

When trying to open c:\user\usera , it takes a while, then I get "You don't currently have permission to access this folder"

If I choose continue then after a while, it says "You have been denied permission to access this folder"   and "To gain access you will need to use the security tab". 

If I then click the blue text where it says security tab, it opens the properties for the usera folder.  Has an button" continue, and says permissions for usera 

enter image description here

Then I get messages like this "An error occurred while applying security information to:....  The media is write protected"

enter image description here

If I keep clicking "continue", it just keeps flashing up about more files

This solution works https://forums.passmark.com/osforensics-osfmount-osfclone/3834-osfmount-access-denied-to-parts-of-disk-image

There's an option in this screen

enter image description here

Have "Read only" not ticked.

Then it works.

It does seem to take a while(maybe a minute), to open %userprofile% of the image, but once it's open then it opens quickly.

Possibly TestDisk could also do it as that can read a dd image, and people use that to open it read only and copy files from it.

Also https://forums.passmark.com/osforensics-osfmount-osfclone/3834-osfmount-access-denied-to-parts-of-disk-image mentions that they have a program called osforensics that can be used.
