we have a home plex server, and I’m trying to figure out permissions.

We have: Root, Bob, and Cait as users.

We have directories that are 777. (drwxrwxrw) Owner is root.

The files are 666. (-rw-rw-rw-) Owner is root.

Permissions 666 cant delete or move when its not the owner.

Users Bob and Cait can only read and write… so they can copy, and SOMETIMES move and delete stuff, but not always?

Id imagine something like rwxrwxr– would work?

But even when I do 777…. They still cannot delete, but CAN edit…
For example, the file we set to 777 to test is:

drwxrwxrwx 2 root root
—rwxrwxrwx 1 root OURSERVERgroupwithfullaccess textfile.txt

When we try to delete we get:

“You need permission to perform this action
You require permission from Unix Userroot to make changes to this file
textfile.txt
Type: Text Document
Size: 96 bytes
Date modified: 2024-08-05 12:29 PM
Try Again
Cancel”

The only way we can delete files is to be logged in as root.

Thanks
