I want to give another user permission to a mount point of a network resource. The directory mode is 700 and the owner is, of course, the logged in user who created the mount point.
I have programs running as different users which have to access the resource as well, but they are unable to. I would like to change the file mode of the mount point located in /Volumes/, but -probably for security reasons- this cannot be done by simply using the sudo chmod go+rx /Volumes/<mount point>/ command.
How can I give other users permissions to my mount point of a network resource?
mount? – jaume Feb 27 at 10:59mountoutput:afp_4dskZR4jbiYw4tTvjg2EIbez-2.2d000004 on /Volumes/Work in Progress (afpfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by foto5). I prefer to keep it the Mac way. I don't want to edit fstab manually to create static mount points (for example) – Christian Stadegaart Feb 27 at 11:15foto5) has enough privileges you can you try to add permissions in the 'Get Info' window (Command-I) of the mounted network volume.sudo chmod go+rx ...should be OK but will give all users read-only access, would that be enough? – jaume Feb 27 at 12:13chmodto change the node mode is to override the original server permissions by defining options via the -o option when usingmount(noownerswhen using an afp mount point. CIFS offers more options for this matter). But the directory mode on the server is 750, which doesn't mirror the clients node mode of 700. Something is happening there... By the way, like I said,sudo chmoddoesn't work and cmd-I doesn't offer anything to manipulate the mode / permissions of the node. – Christian Stadegaart Feb 27 at 12:38
