Topic: Primary iBay Permissions

[Seeker]

How to change the permissions for the primary iBay. I need to allow read write to another user.

You can't the Primary is only for the admin user, you best option is to create a new ibay and give the relevant user(s) access.

Yes you can... simply create a group with any name, but with the description "Domain Admins" (be sure to type it exactly like that), add your user to this group (the admin user should be added by default, but will not be visible) and it should have rights on the Primary ibay as well.

This is all from recollection, so check to see if it is correct

I read this in the Doco and have set it up, but it doesn't work, I have read access, but am unable to write to the html directory.

Does anyone know how to recitfy this or is there a log that I can look at to help me determine what the issue might be?

I would appear that this only works if you have joined the SME domain, as I have an AD domain already. I created myself on the SME server and added myself to the relevant group 'Domain Admins' but I still could not write to the Primary iBay.

Oh well.

Permission issue ?

[root@myserver Primary]# ls -al
drwxr-s---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 cgi-bin
drwxr-s---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 files
drwxr-s---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 html

Code: [Select]

drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Oct  4 00:02 Primary

This was a standard install. I changed it manually and I now have this:

Code: [Select]

drwxr-xr-x  5 admin shared 4096 Oct  4 00:02 Primary

I tried to edit the index.htm file, still no luck.

I did not suggest to change the ibay name permissions.
I was referring to the folders.
Try
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary
ls -al
standard install should display
drwxr-s--- 2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 cgi-bin
drwxr-s--- 2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 files
drwxr-s--- 2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 html

Then do
chmod g+w files
chmod g+w html

ls -al
should then display
drwxr-s---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 22 01:44 cgi-bin
drwxrws---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 30 19:06 files
drwxrws---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct 30 19:07 html

This will allow local filesharing users to write to the files or html folder.

No worries, I will give it a go.

Does this indicate a bug if it doesn't work as documented?

If you are referring to something indicated in documentation, then yes eg with ref to Domain Admins group configuration.
Check the documentation carefully & then please report a bug if you feel it is valid.

My suggested permissions workaround is not a documented feature, it's breaking one of the features, which is to only allow admin write access.

Hi guys

I know this is an old thread but I als would like to give other users write permissions on my primary ibay and followed Ray's suggestions.  I also setup an admin users group, but other users still cannot write to the primary ibay,  My setting are as below.  

drwxrwxr-x   5 root  root   4096 Oct  6  2006 .
drwxr-xr-x  10 root  root   4096 May 21 16:26 ..
drwxr-s---   2 admin shared 4096 Oct  6  2006 cgi-bin
drwxr-s---   3 admin shared 4096 Apr 24 09:34 files
drwxrws---  24 admin shared 4096 May 22 11:41 html

I would be very grateful if anyone could advise me what to do.
