Re: [Exist-open] Default permissions for collections and resources

[Andreas W. <And...@em...>]

Dear Christian, dear list,

while I cannot say anything about how eXist handles this, I would like  
to point out that you probably want 775 on collections and 664 on  
resources. What makes a 7 out of a 6 is the executable bit, which you  
probably want on collections (like folders, you cannot "enter" without  
this executable bit). On individual resources, executable queries need  
the "7" or they cannot be executed by the respective user, but regular  
xml files normally don't need this. What makes a 6 out of a 4 (or a 7  
out of a 5) is the writeable bit.

This can certainly be better explained than I just did. Or you play  
with different values at http://permissions-calculator.org/ ...

Perhaps trying with other values already helps?

Best,
Andreas
