Symbolic Link with Reduced Access
by gabs247 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TM59)
Hi,
I've been trying to figure out if this is possible or not, and how to implement it?
I have a Source folder with files A, B and C.
I want to create a Limited Access Folder with only access to files A and B but not C. I don't want to duplicate the data.
I was thinking of a Symbolic link, and maybe adding permissions for a user to only see files A and B and not C?
The problem is, that I want to use a service account to access the two folders, Source and Limited and so then it'll have access to all the files anyway, so that wouldn't work?
Hope that makes sense, and someone may have a suggestion? Thanks
