1613371 : Zugriffsrechte für ein neues Gruppenverzeichnis in GPFS

Created: 2026-06-30T12:10:06Z - current status: new

Summary: A new group directory ("mcs") was created via Amfora without the ability to set Access Control Lists (ACLs). The current ownership is set to af-m, but it should be changed to the corresponding group (mcs). Additionally, permissions need adjustment to allow others read/execute access (o+rx), while subdirectories can be secured by the group as needed. There’s also a question about why another directory (mls) has non-root ownership.


Anonymized & Cleaned Request: - A user reports creating a new group directory ([GROUP_NAME]) in Amfora but could not configure ACLs during creation. - Current state: bash drwxrwx---. 2 root [CURRENT_GROUP] ... [GROUP_DIR] - Desired changes: 1. Change group ownership from [CURRENT_GROUP] to [NEW_GROUP] for [GROUP_DIR]. 2. Apply o+rx permissions to [GROUP_DIR]. 3. Clarify why another directory ([OTHER_DIR]) is owned by a non-root user.


Suggested Solution/Next Steps: 1. Change Group Ownership: Run: bash sudo chgrp [NEW_GROUP] /path/to/[GROUP_DIR]

  1. Adjust Permissions: Add other-read/execute: bash sudo chmod o+rx /path/to/[GROUP_DIR]

  2. Amfora Enhancement: Log a feature request with the Amfora team to enable ACL/group membership configuration during directory creation.

  3. Ownership Question: Investigate historical reasons for [OTHER_DIR]’s ownership (check audit logs or consult admins).


Note: Replace placeholders like [GROUP_NAME], [CURRENT_GROUP], etc., with actual values when executing commands.
