permissions_overwrite

Allow overwriting external storage permissions.

This app allows overwriting what Nextcloud thinks the permission of a file or folder in an external storage is, this can be useful in situations where Nextcloud improperly detects the permissions in an external storage.

This only affects what Nextcloud detects the permissions to be, the actual permissions from the external server still apply as normal.

Usage

Set a new overwrite

occ permissions_overwrite:set <mount_id> <path> <ALL|READONLY|NONE>

You can find the mount_id using occ files_external:list.

For example, to set the folder Camera in the storage mounted at /Pictures to read only:

$ occ files_external:list
+----------+-------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| Mount ID | Mount Point | Storage | Authentication Type | Configuration                      | Options | Applicable Users | Applicable Groups |
+----------+-------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+
| 17       | /Pictures   | Local   | None                | datadir: "\/data\/Pictures"        |         | All              |                   |
+----------+-------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------+---------+------------------+-------------------+

$ occ permissions_overwrite:set 17 Camera READONLY

Note that permission overwrites are recursive.

Remove an overwrite

occ permissions_overwrite:remove <mount_id> <path>

List existing overwrites

occ permissions_overwrite:list
