I am trying to understand the behaviour of groups and ACL permissions on shared folders. Something doesn't seem right.
If I choose to control the permissions of a Remote Folder using Groups Only, it doesn't appear to work. My clients cannot access Remote Folders for either read, or read+write. However, If I add individual user permissions, access is allowed.
It is also ambiguous as the order of precedence. If a user has permission because a group they are in has access, does this override a Deny they might have. And is the reverse also true? If there are NO specific user permissions, is this when the group permission should take precedence?
It might make sense if you could de-select any user specific permission entirely, but you cannot. Once a user permission is selected, you only change it to another category, not remove it (if this makes it the default).
I am actually joined to a domain and using domain users and groups, but I see the same effect with local users and groups.
All of this is on TOS 6.0.420. Apologies if this is already fixed!![:)]( "Smile")
