Imagine a team of people working on a feature film.
|
||||
There are different departments such as the editors, sound designers, the team surrounding the director etc.
|
||||
They all have different files such as the video rushes, the audio recordings done on set, the written script, etc.

None of the people working on the movie have any idea how Linux works so they do not need shell access to the server, except for the tech admin.

Alex can ssh and pretty much anything to the files on the server, just in case somebody messes up something.

## How to tackle this situation

|
||||
For ease of use I would make this table in a spreadsheet program such as Libreoffice Calc or Excel.
|
||||
I created a zip file with all the files that you can download [here](./files.zip).
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a good overview of all the users and groups you need to create, try to create the following scripts to make your life easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* a adduser script, like the previous challenge, that creates the users and groups
|
||||
* a counterpart to the adduser script that removes them so you can clean the system in case you want to restart the exercise
|
||||
* a script that creates your folder structure and changes the files and directories to the proper permissions
|
||||
|
||||
At first I would approach the problem from a *static* point of view.
|
||||
With this I mean you create all users, groups, directories and files with correct ownership and permissions on the shell.
|
||||
Test the different user accounts via `filezilla` or `sftp` to see if the rights are correct.
|
||||
Once you're confident all users can access the files they need, try to upload some additional files.
|
||||
You'll quickly discover that everything can become a *big* mess.
|
||||
Something is missing!
|
||||
|
||||
This is where [setuid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid) and **setgid** come in place.
|
||||
They are what we call *special permissions*.
|
||||
I advise you to have a play with them in a different folder to see how they work.
|
||||
You'll see they are very powerful for these type of situations.
|
||||
|
||||
One last thing that is missing to make the entire exercise perfect is the notion of `umask`.
|
||||
We haven't seen this concept but you're using it all the time.
|
||||
Where do you think the permissions come from when you `touch readme.md`?
|
||||
One last hint I'll leave you with is [this](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/393919/proper-way-to-set-the-umask-for-sftp-transactions).
