file-permissions

I have a Group 'g1' having 2 users Alice and Bob. I want to share a file 'file1' with both of them with different permissions.(for Alice read only and for Bob Read+write) Assuming Bob can own the file the following should work for you. $ chown Bob:g1 file1 First set the ownership of the file to Bob to allow for read+write access and set the group ownership to the g1 group. $ chmod 640 file1 Set the owner to a read and write and set the group to read only. This is a common permission structure on webservers. Note that the "world" has no permissions in this structure, but $ man chmod can provide

the resource_directory has only 2 actions available: create and delete I need to update the owner and group of a directory recursively. How do I do that? using a simple resource_execute ? execute "chown-data-www" do command "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/myfoler" user "root" action :run end Bill Warner You can set the default action to nothing then have resources that may screw things up notify the perm fixer: execute "chown-data-www" do command "chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/myfoler" user "root" action :nothing end resource "that may screw up perms" do stuff "one two three"

I get the following error: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046' Permission denied When running a classic asp application. The error is here: (in the CreateTextFile line) Dim myFSO set myFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") myFSO.CreateTextFile(fName) I know I can get around this problem by giving "Full control" to the "Everyone" user. This is a publicly accessible folder on our server, so I worry that this is a security risk? I would prefer to be able to give full permission to someone like "IIS_IUSRS", but this doesn't work. It's as if it's a different user being

I have this code in my Web API app to write to a CSV file: private void SaveToCSV(InventoryItem invItem, string dbContext) { string csvHeader = "id,pack_size,description,vendor_id,department,subdepartment,unit_cost,unit_list,open_qty,UPC_code,UPC_pack_size,vendor_item,crv_id"; int dbContextAsInt = 0; int.TryParse(dbContext, out dbContextAsInt); string csvFilename = string.Format("Platypus{0}.csv", dbContextAsInt); string csv = string.Format("{0},{1},{2},{3},{4},{5},{6},{7},{8},{9},{10},{11},{12}", invItem.ID, invItem.pksize, invItem.Description, invItem.vendor_id, invItem.dept, invItem.subdept

I wrote a simple script to automate creating a symbolic link. #!/pseudo today = "/tmp/" + date("Y-m-d") exec("ln -sf " + today + " /tmp/today") Simple enough; get today's date and make a symlink. Ideally run after midnight with -f so it just updates it in-place. This works just fine! ...for my user. xkeeper /tmp$ ls -ltr drwxrwxrwx xkeeper xkeeper 2014-10-21 lrwxrwxrwx xkeeper xkeeper today -> /tmp/2014-10-21/ xkeeper /tmp$ cd today xkeeper /tmp/today$ cd .. Notice that it works fine, all the permissions are world-readable, everything looks good. But if someone else wants to use this link (we

Is it possible to keep permissions on file with Maven resources:testResources? My use case is a Selenium binary driver that I put in /src/test/resources that I would like to be able to use from my tests. My -rwxr-xr-x is however changed to -rw-r--r-- in target/test-classes. wjans This seems to be a bug in the Maven Resource Plugin If you are using the Maven Assembly Plugin, you can configure the file permissions there. If not, you might consider a workaround. You could do this via Ant by doing something like this: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun
