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
