Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1KDE 1.2KDE 1.2) Installed from: Unlisted Binary PackageUnlisted Binary PackageUnlisted Binary Package OS: Linux * Can’t assign multiple groups to file permission. I could not find a way how I can add two or more user groups to a file’s Permission tab. For example, I have folder called MyData and I would like users of GroupA and GroupB to be able to Read/Write while Users of GroupC to be Read Only * The User Groups defined inside Kuser is kind of confusing. How will the user know what “hal” group is used for? I’m thinking maybe something like Role Base permission would do the trick? Something similar to the way it’s done in Ubuntu does or maybe something like this: [x] Can Access CDROMs [x] Can Send Fax [x] Can Burn CDs [x] Administer Computer [x] Access scanners [x] Can Modify Desktop settings [x] Install Printers etc….
Problem 1: What can KUser do about it? The file permission dialog has ACL setting capability, if you enabled ACLs on your filesystem(s). If you don't see that, that's another story... Problem 2: The problem is that the groups can be distro specific, and also the groups are _not_ for allowing user roles (there are some exception, e.g. the group disc), but these are user accounts for the same-named daemons. You mentioned "hal", which is for running the HAL Daemon to not run as root. You can hide these users/groups with the "show/hide system users/groups" checkbox.
kuser no longer exists as a separate thing and hasn't for several years; it's relevant functionality now exists as the Users page in System Settings. If you experience an issue with that page, or want to request a new feature for it, feel free to open a new bugzilla ticket about the matter at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemsettings&component=kcm_users. Thanks folks!
