Access file ownership related questions
I have two issues; any help regarding this would be highly appreciated.

  • We deployed a file abc using pqr id. So the owner is of abc file (shell script) is ‘pqr'. However, abc file is executed by ESP event and uses the id ‘xyz'. When the file abc is executed the owner of the directory it creates is ‘pqr'. However, we want the owner to be some other id, say, ‘efg'. How can we do that? Abc file refers to a profile file and I am wondering if I can set the user id or something in the profile by which any program reading the profile would create any directory of files with the ownership defined in the profile.

  • We would like to create a user id for which will have read/write access to only one or two specific directories. How can we manipulate/update the profile of the id to achieve this?

I am stuck with these issues and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
