Permissions on controlled directories

When controlled directories are used to store documents, those directories need to have the proper permissions for SoftExpert Suite.

The SoftExpert Suite services use a standard user on Linux: sesuite (uid=5000,gid=5000). Said user must have read, write and execute permissions on the controlled directories.

If the controlled directory is mounted using cifs in the /etc/fstab file, the permissions can be set directly in this file.

See an example, considering that your controlled directory is /mnt/documents:

info

//fileServer/documents /mnt/documents cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/etc/cifspwd,uid=5000,gid=5000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0

The permissions on the controlled directory can also be defined manually, through the following commands:

chown 5000:5000 -R /mnt/documents
chmod 755 -R /mnt/documents
