Hi,

You need to give us a little more help here, what OS are you using, and what type of system are you using, what shell are you running, have you tried anything? - the more information that you provide the more help it is likely that you will recieve.

An answer to your post - Yes it can be done!

Regards

Gull04

Hi Gull,

Thanks for the reply.
we have linux in place.We have tried the below command for creating user and giving permission for the user under the group.
Code:
sudo useradd -G groupname username
sudo passwd username
sudo chown -R username:groupname /foldername

If i i give permission of the folder to user from group i am not able to access.

Regards,
Iswarya.M

HOW are you "not able to access"? What type of access? Pls show error messages, and file / folder permissions. Also, show the output of groups username, with username obfuscated if need be.

Hi RUdic,

consider a is user and b is group.
I have given read permission for that particular folder to that user(a) under the group(b).After that the user(a) can able to see all the content under /Folder/*.But group b is getting permission denied error for the folder /folder/*.

Regards,
Iswarya.M

Facts, please, not prose describing what you see / interpret what happened.
Post the user info (as requested above) AND the folder info e.g. ls -l. Do you have additional security features enabled (SELinux et al.)?

Given that we cannot see you server, have no access to it and no desire to do anything on it anyway, perhaps you could actually use the real values (not username and groupname, but user rbatte1 group admin or whatever) and share the screen output (pasted in CODE tags) from the following:-
Code:
uname -a                                 # What OS & version are we dealing with
getent group your_group_name             # Is the group listing okay, and does it contain the permitted user
getent user permitted username           # Is the user listing okay and does it have the required group
ls -l /path/to/folder                    # Long list the files in the target directory (or a specific file for clarity
ls -dl /path/to/folder                   # Long list the target directory, looking at permissions there
getenforce                               # Check SELinux state

It would take the guesswork out of it and it is unlikely that there is anything that would be commercially sensitive for you to worry about.

Thanks, in advance,
Robin
