Losing files permissions on Mac Server shared folder
Issue
Whenever someone saves a file on a shared folder hosted on a Mac Server, the only permissions extended permission applied on the file are for the user only. Resetting the permissions might work for a moment but then the permission issue happens again.
Make sure you use ACLs
By default you might do it from the Get Info which is wrong : You must use ACLs.
- Launch the Server.app
- Select your server name, the first entry under the “Server” heading at the top left.
- Click on the Storage tab on the right.
- Underneath, navigate to the share in question.
- Click the gear at the bottom of the window and choose to Edit Permissions.
- Set the first three entries as desired, but typically Others = None, Admin (group) = Read Only, Admin (user) = Read + write. These are local POSIX groups and none of your network users should be such a user or in such a group. Add an additional entry on top for your desired OD group, and set permissions as desired.
