IOS: Folder rights

 [1/4] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 15-Oct-2002 21:15


Hi, I want to change the folder rights of our IOS server in that not every user can create new folders in public folders. Would it be enough just to change my local registry.r file and publish it to the server so that others will get the change too? How can such a change be applied to an existing IOS server? How can I change the default-rights for folders to exclude the right for creating new foldres? I don't want to make this change everytime a new folder is created. Hope someone can help me... Robert

Yes, if you mean using Reg-Edit.

Change the 'access rights to each folder fileset that you want to secure.

Possibly by restricting the 'new-app rights in the User reblet. It may be that every new folder is created with a standard set of rights which includes access to all (unless it is a private folder). You could write yourself a little reblet that creates new folders with the rights you desire... Not definitive answers but maybe a starting point. - Chris

Hi, ok that's the hand-made way. I really don't want to change this by hand for all folders we have on IOS ;-).

Ok, so I think I have to write a reblet to change the registry.r file. Did anyone already wrote some registry.r parsing / access / using ... Routines? BTW: What happens if some of my users change the registry.r file on their machine by hand and try to publish it back to the IOS server? Is this allowed? I think it is because users can add folders and this change needs to be published back to server. But than they could change the 'access block to gain folder-creation rights...

Hm... Don't know what this right stands for. Anyone else?

But users are used to use the desktop functionality of IOS for creating folders. Best thing would be to have access to the default rights from some configuration file. Or change the desktop source-code. But I don't have access to the desktop source-code.

No problem, each step helps. Robert

It's not simply a matter of changing and publishing the registry. If you make changes to the local registry, it skews the sync details and at worst everything is resynced. Changes to the registry must be made through the Serve API (the 'send-server command) and of course individual fileset rights apply.

That's the ability to create new filesets, including those of desktop folders.

I think that's how it is at this stage. - Chris
