So, I'm searching for a way to add a user to a bunch of files, folders, subfolders and their files and their subfolders and files, etc, with read/write permissions, in 'Terminal'. I can add a user with permissions to the files or a folder individually using OSX Finder, however doing that does not change permissions recursively in subfolders and files. My issue is that all the files / folder and subfolders with files no longer have the correct User and correct permissions. I did that to create a clean start because I've had that backup drive for like 8 years and wanted to get reformat that drive too, getting rid of a heap of old, useless backups.

Instead of using the Mac 'Migration Assistant' to restore my user and files from my Backup drive (created using 'TimeMachine'), I just copied things over (as I was copying to an older OSX than was used to create the backups). I re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed an older version of OSX that's more compatible with my hardware.

So, ok, maybe it's best if I describe the problem. The -R tells it to write the ACE to all of the contents of the folder including subfolders.Hi there everyone, I'd like to ask some more clarifications please as I'm still not getting very far with this. Any folders added will inherit the ACE, thus all subfolders created will get the ACE. That access control entry (ACE) gives everyone in the group the ability to edit files and folders created by others in the group. Then copy and paste into a Terminal window, hit return. chmod -R +a "group: allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" "/Users/Shared//"Ĭopy it into TextEdit and change those items. You will need to modify it to change and change the to whatever you created. Add any files and subfolders you want to share into that folder, too.ģ) Create your users in Users & Groups selecting Sharing Only from the popup menu.Ĭreate a Group and add all of the office users to the group (same as creating a user, but select Group from the popup menu).Ģ) Here is the ACL you need to add to the top-level folder you created inside Shared. If they have an account on that Mac, they will have the same access they would have if they sat down at the Mac and logged into their account.ġ) Start by creating a top-level folder inside /Users/Shared/. File Sharing on macOS is essentially logging into the Mac remotely. Third, you should create Sharing Only users for the others in the office unless they need an account on your Mac (because they use that Mac). They cannot edit them without making a copy. File Sharing just lets the others see the files. You can set up your Mac to act as a file server, but it takes some work in the Terminal. Second, you likely want a file server which is not the same as file sharing. Nothing particularly wrong, but it is messy due to the permissions set on your home folder. Please help!!! Thank you!įirst, you should only share files out of the /Users/Shared folder, not from your user's home folder. What might you suggest I do? I have tried deleting their user names, I established new ones.I changed permissions on folders to those new user names, it is not working. For whatever reason, however, while those other machines DO see my computer on the network, neither of them can "log in" or connect. I want to use file sharing so that other employees in my office can access folders and documents on my machine. However, there still remains a major problem, which I have experienced before, even before upgrading to Big Sur, which I really must resolve, and could use your help.

Since my original post on related issue from almost a week ago, I have decided to stick with Big Sur and just keep my older Mac handy for using older CAD software which no longer runs on Catalina nor Big Sur (shame on the CAD company, I know, for being super super slow in keeping their stuff up to date, there is no excuse). That being the case, there is hardly a word in your response that I understand.

I love how that highlights the gap between us in knowing how to solve Mac issues.

I noticed you are a "Level 10 with 83,506 points" while I am a "Level 1 with 4 points". Barney, I appreciate your trying to help.
