Have a virtual group "all" for the advanced permissions #2779
Comments
I've never used it, but you might find the apps Everyone Group or Auto Groups useful as an alternative. |
@schiessle can you elaborate on shortcoming 1? I don't really understand the problem. |
@provokateurin Thanks for looking into the issue! The shortcoming is simple. You have a large instance, many users and groups. You have a shared group folder, let's say a company wide folder for all company related files. Now you want to allow only a single person or group access to a subfolder. At the moment. You have to do the following:
This would be solved if the advanced permissions would know a virtual group "all users", where In can set the permissions for all users without knowing anything about user and group structure on the system and without having to worry that something changes to the user/group structure. I hope this makes it clear. |
Ok I understand now, but I don't know if this is something we can fix this way. |

Proposed solution:
The "advanced permissions" drop-down has a virtual group called "all users". This way I can modify the access rights for everyone with one click.
