I’m on Nextcloud 19.0.3
. I have the following directories:
foo
|__bar
|__ other_stuff
I’m trying to share the folder foo
with groupA
(read only) and the folder bar
with userA
with write permission. I want userA
to be able to modify only bar
and not other_stuff
. NB: userA
belongs to groupA
.
In particular:
- I shared
foo
with groupA
(read only)
- I shared
bar
with groupA
(read and write)
The problem is that once I did that, userA
sees in the WEB UI both foo
and bar
separately, like those were different entities.
Why is this happening and how can I avoid that?
Since you use separate shares they appear separately…
Leave only the first - foo
- share as read-only.
To share bar
use advanced permissions
Are you referring to the app groupfolder or to standard sharing?
Just checked out the app. It seems a a good idea, however:
Advanced Permissions allows entitled users to configure permissions inside groupfolders on a per file and folder basis.
Permissions are configured by setting one or more of “Read”, “Write”, “Create”, “Delete” or “Share” permissions to “allow” or “deny”. Any permission not explicitly set will inherit the permissions from the parent folder. If multiple configured advanced permissions for a single file or folder apply for a single user (such as when a user belongs to multiple groups), the “allow” permission will overwrite any “deny” permission. Denied permissions configured for the group folder itself cannot be overwritten to “allow” permissions by the advanced permission rules.
So if i deny write permission for groupA
on foo
I cannot allow it on bar
for a userA
(since userA
belongs to groupA
)
