File/Directory Sharing via User Accounts
This following demonstrates file/directory sharing between a group of users. In this sharing scenario all shared files can only be changed by a normal account that is owner of the files. The text file is an exception as ownCloud has an internal notepad application. All of the other files use internal file application viewers to display contents of each file.
- With the “admin” user account and using Settings => Users, five test user accounts were created. The “test0” user is the primary owner of the files.
- The test0 user has a directory, “ProjectX” containing a set of files in various file formats.
- The test1 user will be allowed access by test0 to share the ProjectX directory for read/write sharing. Additionally the test1 user will not be able to delete any of the files.
- Logging in as the test1 user reveals a directory called “Shared”.
- Navigating in to the Shared directory shows the shared directory ProjectX.
- Navigating in to the ProjectX directory shows all of the files contained in the directory. Also clicking on the “Share” attribute for one of the files shows the file is shared with test0.
- Logging in to test0 the "text file" is allowed to be shared with test2 for read/write sharing.
- Logging in to test2 and navigating in to the Shared directory shows the test file. The text file is opened, modified, and saved.
- Logging in to test0 and opening the text file shows the change that was made by test2.
- The test0 account allows the word processing and spreadsheet documents to be shared with test3. Also both documents will be set up so that they cannot be deleted.
