Hi there. was hoping someone could help me. i have a folder that i need to set permissions on. i have a few groups that need diffrent permissions on the same folder. does anyone know a way to do this without using acl ?
No acl?I am not sure what you are looking for.I mean; what you want to do? Give me some precise info about your problem. I'll walk you through; with or without acl.
See ya mate!
How are they accessing the directory? Locally, over a network, samba, nfs etc?
thanks for the reply guys here is the details all this happens localy
a folder called testfolder
a group called group1
(2 users is admin admin1)a group called group2
(2 users manger manager1)a group called group3
(2 users worker1 worker2)each group needs diffrent access to this folder
group 1 needs full control
group 2 needs read only
group 3 needs no access
just not sure how to get arround only being allowed to set permissions for one group. im familer with NT security and this is a little diffrent.

1. create a testfolder as user admin (as he has full control)
2. bring up terminal and execute : setfacl -m group:group1:rwx,group:group2:r-x,group:group3:---,other:---,mask:rwx testfolder/
3. That's it. It wokrs on my machine with SuSE.
P.S You had to put r-x for group2 because group 2 needs to enter that folder.
If you have some problems with this write again
