Information shared with users when changes are made to members of a group

[iam4tune]

What would you like to see added?

The RC-Ops group includes information about a project folder when they make changes, following a ticket request;

1. Create/rename a new project folder.
2. Add a new user or remove an existing member of a project folder.

The information they share is generated with this command

ls -ld /data/project/<project or lab name>

The above command generates the below output

drwxrws--- 4 owner_BlazerID group_name 4096 Jul 11 07:23 /data/project/lab_name

Explanation for the output

File Type and Permissions (drwxrws---):

d: Indicates that this is a directory. rwx: The owner (owner_BlazerID) has read (r), write (w), and execute (x) permissions. rws: The group (group_name) has read (r), write (w), and execute (s) permissions. The s here indicates the setgid (set group ID) bit is set, meaning new files created within this directory will inherit the group of the directory. ---: Indicates others have no permissions.

Link Count (4):

This indicates the number of hard links to the directory. For directories, this includes the directory itself, its parent directory (..), and any subdirectories found in it.

Owner (owner_BlaxerID):

This shows the BlazerID of the owner of the directory.

Group (group_name):

This shows the group name associated with the directory. A group is a collection of user accounts that are used to define permissions and access controls on files and directories.

Size (4096):

The size of the directory in bytes. For directories, this typically reflects the space used by the directory structure itself, not the contents.

Modification Date and Time (Jul 11 07:23):

This indicates the last time the directory was modified. In this case, it was last modified on July 11th at 07:23.

Directory Name (/data/project/lab_name):

This is the path to the directory.

The output when shared with our users, is not understood. So we could include a little summary information to explain this. Something like;

"The output you can see in the previous mail means, only members of your group (mention name of group/members of group) can access the project folder (include path to project folder).

Does ops also generate a list of which users belong to the group? I think that should be documented as well.
