Managing File Systems
File and Folder Permissions
Permission Strategy Considerations
- Poorly designed permission strategy can quickly lead to problems.
- Some of the best practices when designing a permission strategy for files and folders are:
- Folder structure should be designed so that permissions can easily flow down
- Folder structure should have a specific permission strategy before users are allowed to store files in it
- Specific permissions can be applied to a file or folder for a given user or group of users
- Exceptions to permissions can be made
- All folder permissions strategies should be tested
