Hi all,
I have a mac pro running OSX Lion and Server 10.7.1. It is used as a server for 10 staff. The server is accessed by 3 accounts - admin, staff, and staff_special. There are different permissions on different folders on the server. For example, the accounting documents can only be accessed by admin etc.
However, some folders can be read and written by all 3 groups. E.g. we have a folder called 'staff_exchange'. The problem is....when someone, say a staff user, creates a new folder within 'staff_exchange' - other users only READ ONLY access to such folders (sometime, no access at all).
Why does this new folder not inherit the permissions of the root? Is there are way to turn this on automatically. At the moment, I have to manually reset the permissions whenever someone makes a folder. i.e. 12 times per day!
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
