Topic:
Suggested IESX project file permissions.

Description:
 

Solution:
Case 1:
  Standalone one user project (no sharing, one user):
  Master (only) project: 600 rw- - - -  - - - 

Case 2:
  Shared projects with people in the same group:
  Master project: 660 rw- rw-  - - - 
  Shared project(s): 660 rw- rw-  - - - 

  The master project needs 'rw' for the group because the shared 
  project cross-references and catalogs items in the master project.  

Case 3:
  Shared projects with people not in the same groups:
  Master project: 666 rw- rw- rw- 
  Shared project(s): 666 rw- rw- rw-  

Note: The person who created the project or loaded the data is not always the
'user'.  If this is the case the ownerships of all the files would need to be
changed to the projects 'user' first.

The users environment needs to reflect the intended use by setting the
appropriate umask setting, normally in the .cshrc file.  They should be; 

       For Case 1:  the correct umask should be "umask 022". 

       For Case 2:  the correct umask should be "umask 002".

       For Case 3:  the correct umask should be "umask 000".

If this isn't done, files will be created with permissions that other users
can't handle.
