Hello,
what is the best practice to setup a shared directory for multiple users using the Asustor GUI ?

Example:

USER GROUP
--------------------------
alice devel
bob devel

Directory tree
-------------------------
/volume1/shared

Code: Select all

shared/
├── one
│   └── file.txt
└── two

Code: Select all

ls -al /volume1/shared
drwxrwxr-x    2 alice     devel       4.0K Mar 30 15:13 one/
drwxrwxr-x    2 bob      devel       4.0K Mar 30 15:13 two/


ls -al /volume1/shared/one
-rw-r--r--    1 alice     devel          0 Mar 30 15:13 file.txt

As you can see the file.txt created by alice can't be written by bob even if the directory is RWX for the group devel.

Of course I could manually setup everything following this guide http://brunogirin.blogspot.com/2010/03/ ... etgid.html
, but I wonder if is possible to do that from the Asustor GUI.

Thank you

Yes, only if you go through samba protocol.
Enable ACL first for the specific shared folder (in your case: shared) under ADM web -> Access Control -> Shared Folder -> Edit -> Windows ACL.
Then, under ADM file explorer, set the proper access rights on "file.txt".

No, enabling ACl result in a 'windows like' file permission as "rwxrwxrwx"
I need something Linux/unix (Posix) compliant.

Then, I think you should use manual commands. I cannot find this function in GUI.
