Managing File and Directory Permissions
Figure 6–11: ACL on Harmonic MediaGrid
The full path of the selected file or directory is shown at the top of the dialog box, followed by the
file/directory owner and user.
2. The
Group or User names
section contains the list of Access Control Entries (ACEs) for the
file or directory. Complete this section as follows:
Click
Change Owner
to select a new owner from a list of users. You must have
permission to change the owner.
Click
Add
to add a new user or group to the list of entries. The maximum number of
entries is 64.
Click
Remove
to remove a user or group from the list of entries. Once an entry is
removed, its default settings (inherited from its parent directory) are applied.
Click
Up
or
Down
to move an entry within the list. See “
About the Ordering of ACEs
within an ACL
” in the
ContentManager User’s Guide
for information on how to order the
entries.
3. The
Allowed/Deny Permissions
section shows the current permissions for the selected ACE.
Complete these settings as follows:
First choose which type of action you want to apply (allow or deny) by selecting
Allow
or
Deny
from the drop-down box on the right.
Allow
provides the user control of the
checked permissions;
Deny
prohibits the user control of the checked permissions.
Select the permissions by clicking the corresponding check box.
Click the
Apply
button to apply your settings and then click
OK
to confirm the changes
that you made.
Note the following ACL rules:
Permissions cannot be changed for inherited ACL entries.
Duplicate ACL entries are not allowed within an ACL. A duplicate is an entry that has the
same user or group with the same operation mode, such as Allow (or Inherit) or Deny.
The same user/group can have one Allow (or Inherit) entry and one Deny entry.
