Folder/Group

[Eric Jacklin]

Hi,

xyz is a user belongs to X group and we have one more user belongs to Y group.

can i create a folder where both the user can have access to folder.

What permission should i give and what ownership should i give to that folder so that two different group can access the same folder.

[Pete Randall]

Sure. Make xyz the owner of the directory and give the y group ownership.

Yes you can create a folder with permission of W group and you put in /etc/group for W the users xyzw for accessing the files.
for ex:

X:10:x,y,z
Y:20:w
W:30:x,y,z,w

Hi,

You can also use ACLs for this task.

setacl -m group::permission rwx Folder name

Cheers!!
