Samba - Shared Data with fixed folder structure

[yameen101]

We want to fix our data folders structre in Samba, for example our folders would be like as Data/Group A/2010 /A

We want all our users can work only in folder A and no one can create any files in data, GroupA, 2010 folders. Similarly no one can delete these basic folders. However users can create further folders in A as required.

Is this possible in samba?

Hi there,

I don't think there is a way to do that in Samba directly, but samba still has to respect Linux filesystem permissions so you can create those folders as read-only (and execute) and owned by root and then permit write access to folder A so the users can create whatever they want underneath.

Let us know how you get on
