Different file access permission for different user?

Open w32zhong opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Is there any way to configure Droppy such that if different user login, they will have different access permissions? If not, is this going to be a future feature?

I don't think that I'll have time or motivation to add something like that. Doing proper permissions that work consistently cross-platforms means I cannot make use file system permissions, but would have to implement everything on my own.

Maybe it's an option to you to run multiple instances for your users instead.

You mentioned you can make use of file system permissions to do what? Is that possible to treat different Droppy users differently by utilizing filesystem permissions?

One ad-hoc approach to solve this issue is to host two or more Droppy instances and specify different user config files (with different permissions configured).

Just tried droppy out. On that note - what is the difference between privileged and normal users?

Would it be possible to just restrict certain actions to non-privileged users? (e.g. they cannot delete etc.)?
