Description

If we add a new group via invis-portal on an invis-server, the server automatically creates a working-directory for this group. Only the groupmembers can access and use it.

First feature

It would be a nice addon, if we could select a directory-template from collection of templates, for creating the new workingdirectory for a new group.

invis-portal launches a shell-script called "creategroupshare". I added the possibility to use template-dirs to this script before. For using this feature it's only neccessary to give it the path to the templatedir as a position parameter:

creategroupshare /path/to/templatedir

To use this feature we have to add the template-dir selection to invis-portal. The selection should be a dropdown list.

Second feature

It should be possible to create groups without a share/directory. We will add a checkbox to the group creation dialog to disable the share creation. Default is enabled. We integrated this option in the dropdown list. The list contains "Leeres Verzeichnis" (default), "Kein Verzeichnis" and then the template directories, if there are any.

Third feature

The template directory needs acls. We will create a group "diradmins" with sine2. Only members of this group should be able to create, delete or modify the template directories.

Job done. Users can now create directory templates for groupshares in /srv/shares/media/portal/verzeichnisvorlagen. invis-Portal scans this directory and builds a dropdown list for choosing the wanted template.

It's now also possible to create groups without a share.

We should think about access restrictions for the templatedir.

Actions #10

Updated by ingogoeppert almost 6 years ago

If we "We should think about access restrictions for the templatedir." we have to think about the access restrictions for the webserver who has to create the list of template directory. Then we have to set read ACLs for wwwrun and remove the read right for the others.

Our implementation of working with directory templates has still one bug. Until there is no template it is not possible to create a group with an empty directory. It seems to be a javascript problem.

I will try to fix it.

Next problem: Directory "verzeichnisvorlagen" is only writeable by root. We should make it write able for a group of users.

OK, we can create a new group "diradmins" for example during sine2s run and let afterup set acls for this group on the templatedir.
