ACL
Revision as of 12:24, 16 March 2017 by Michael Murtaugh (talk | contribs) (Michael Murtaugh moved page Permissions to ACL: Maybe using command names makes more sense)
Sadly the built in UNIX way of doing permissions, with it's notions of users, groups, and "others" is in practice quite difficult to use to make "shared folders". ACL (for access control lists) is an extension to these mechanisms that gives more flexibility. The setfacl command is the thing that sets the options.
So, the command to Allow anyone in the users group to write files to path/to/some/folder
setfacl -Rm g:users:rwX /path/to/some/folder setfacl -d -Rm g:users:rwX /path/to/some/folder
