Zentyal ACL for Protected Folder
« on: August 17, 2015, 11:43:37 am »
Hi,

i just wondering how to make a specific Protected Folder,
where only Administrator can read/write/execute to the Protected Folder,

and others can't even lists (ls -la) the folder, can't read/write/execute.

Is this feature available in Zentyal ? ???

So, basicly... a share to which users can't access? That is a share with permissions for Admins only isn't it?

If it possible, then how to do it ?

I mean when i lookup

File Sharing > Access Control > Adding a new ACL > Permissions

i only see 3 options Read Only, Read and Write, and Administrator

There is no options for Restricted (POSIX ACL mode '- - -')

I you DON't give any permission to a particular user/group, they will not have permission to even read, and therefore the effect should be the same.

Just create a share, make sure you don't check the box for Guest Share, and provide permission por only , say, Domain Admins. In this way, only Domain Admins will be able to access this share
