macOS Mojave with server 5.7.1file sharing Group permissions problem :-(

hi

i have macOS Mojave with server 5.7.1 on Mac pro(Late 2013).

I'm running an updated server for the latest version.

To my question I did not find an answer through Google ...


I do several tests before moving the server to work.

The test on the server is performed from several computers, mainly from operating system 10.12.


I set up 3 users (A + B + C) and 2 groups (E + F) to check permissions Unfortunately permissions do not work properly.

And there seems to be a problem with the ACL and the permissions do not pass automatically.

The entrance was examined in two situations: AFP + SMB.


for example:

When User A logs on to the server and builds a folder / file, checking permissions on the file from the server is saved to User A and not to the Group Name (Group E).

Group: wheel - Permission: read only

All: everyone - permission: read only.


When user B enters the server and builds a folder / file, checking permissions on the file from the server is saved to user name B and not to the group name (group E).

Group: wheel - Permission: read only

All: everyone - permission: read only.



Arrange permissions through: System Prepernces / File Sharing and manual permissions changes: Apple Premissions to Enclosed Items.

Everything works out ... until the next user change.


I would be happy for help an experienced server user


Best regards

Benny

Hey guys I found this related information from high sierra server that helped me and it appears to work for keeping inherited permissions.


Firstly enable ACL permissions for SMB shares with the following command.



Sharing modification via terminal to engage ACLs



sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server AclsEnabled -bool YES


Then set up inheritance permissions on the parent holder with the following command. This should recursively go through your share and apply the relevant permissions.



sudo chmod -R +a "group:REPLACE_WITH_YOURGROUP_NAME:allow readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" REPLACE_WITH_PATH_TO_PARENT_SHARED_FOLDER
