Need a script to give folder rights

[#1]

Morning to all,

Does anyone have a basic script that I can use to give my users rights to a specific folder. Here is an example.

After I push the ESKO software the users have to have full rights to:

HD/Users/Shared/EskoArtworks

Also

HD/Applications/Automation Engine Client 10.0.2/bg.properties

well just a chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder will do it, but you sure you need to give them full control of these files? That means they can delete them as well.

Can you just change the permissions in your install package within Composer?

Instead of creating a script, you could go back into composer and correct the permissions on the original package and re-push.

or you could use an ACE to do the same, tailored to prevent deletion of the parent folder. modify something like this to suit your needs:

chmod +a "staff allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit,read,write,delete,append,execute" /path/to/folder

drop something like that in as a one-liner or an actual script, and you should be good to go. if they don't need delete, remove that right. make sure it doesn't interfere with whatever app might write files to that directory, though.

I put the following line in the Run Command field under the Advanced tab
of my policy:

chown -R root:admin /path/to/folder ; chmod -R 777 /path/to/folder
