Hey there.

I have a directory I need to make accessable to 2 different groups (arc, and tab). The group Arc can have full access to everything inside, but the Tab group can only read. I'm not quite sure on how about to do this? Should I make a group that the users in the groups Arc and Tab can be a part of, make them the 'users' of the directory? But if i did that, i would be unsure about how to separate the users from those groups to only be able to read or have full access...

As you can see, I'm running around in circles in my head and some clarity or help would sure be lovely!

thanks a lot!

Maybe you could make Ark the group who owns the directory and set only read permission for others;

thanks for the input!

i don't think i explained enough, but Tab should be able to read, but no other groups or users should be able to access the directory at all. I might just be too much of a noob, but doesn't what you proposed let any other user be able to read?

Maybe you'll find some help here.
Anyway,I think that this can be marked as a Linux bug,it needs some hacking I would say,but I'm not sure at the moment if there is an easy way to manage this with something that Linux have by default,besides that solution provided in my link.
