Webdav: is it possible to filter files/folders depending on user permissions?

[Chuck_81]

Hi,

can I configure webdav to give users access to specific folders/files? By default, users who have FSread permission (configured from NI auth web page) can have access to all the filesystem through a webdav client or through HTTP:

My purpose is to force some users to see and manipulate only a portion of the 9068 folders (e.g. /home/lvuser). Can it be achieved by modifying webdav configuration somehow? Or I'm forced to use other tools like Samba?

Thanks

Fabio

WebDAV doesn't provide very granular access controls, so the only option at the moment is to use FSRead and FSWrite NI-Auth permissions to either give full access or no access.

SFTP (SSH file transfer protocol) may be a good option for you. All NI-Auth user accounts are also Linux users, which means they have UIDs on the system, they're capable of owning files, and can log-in via SSH. See http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14626/en/#primarycontentcontainer for more info about enabling SSH on NI Linux RT.

I would like to have webDAV access from hosts to sbRIO-9607 with only file read access (for data readout sbRIO->windows)

If I understand Haris_Okanovic post I can create a user with only file read permissions FSRead.

I do this using the web configuration interface to create this user (here called dgc). However there is no way to _not_ have the user to belong to group everyone - remove button is grayed out. And everyone can for instance make a reboot which I don't want - only read (certain) files. The configuration page looks like below.

Why can't I remove the user from everyone?

group everyone cannot be removed

 The users group is set up to have only FSRead:users have only FSRead permissions
