Great contrib, I am able to assign more groups rights to a shared folder but I wonder if it's possible to emulate Win Servers behaviour
Ex: folder (permissions: group1 (rw), group2 (ro), group3 (rw))
|__ subfolder1 (permissions: group1, group2)
|__ subfolder2 (permissions: group1, group3)
|__ subfolder3 (permissions: group2, group3)
No, it's not possible. One of my client asked me to implement something like this, but it's not easily feasible:
- the name of the sub folders are not known, the the panel should provide a kind of browser to set the permissions. With this, it'll need to handle special characters
- It'll also be much harder to store everything in the DB.
- Further more, I really think it's cleaner to create one share per permission set. I agree ibays are a bit too limited, that's why I've created this contrib, but having different permissions on sub-folders will just make it harder to maintain IMHO.
As Stefano said, you can do it manually with setafacl (and you'll have to backup them with getfacl), but in this case, you should not use a shared folder because each time you modify it, the ACL will be flushed.
