How to add read access to specific user on the webapps folder

Question

I wanna give read access to my developers on the webapps folder, so that don't have to ssh only in their application folder. But I can't do it. Is there a way?

Answer 1

You can grant access to applications to specific users following the instructions here.

You could modify step 3 in that documentation to grant read access to the directories within webapps like this:

setfacl -m u:secondary_username:r-- $HOME/webapps/*

You can't make any changes to $HOME/webapps itself. When connecting via SSH, your users will start in their home directories. Your users can make navigating to specific areas easier by creating symbolic links in their home directories. For example, if user2 uses /home/user1/webapps/name_of_app frequently, he could run this command in his own home directory:

ln -s /home/user1/webapps/app_name app_name

Then, instead of using:

cd /home/user1/webapps/app_name

to change to the application's directory, the user could enter:

cd app_name

I hope this helps!
