This information is only relevant to installations on filesystems that support unix style permissions and are using the built in text store.

Sometimes you might like a group of users on a system to be able to edit the files in a store, but not as only one user. To do this you can put all those users in the same group, make the store writable for that group, and cause the server to write files in a way that makes sure they are group writable. If these concepts are alien to you, this is probably not for you.

• change the group of the files in the store:
  
  • chgrp -R <group> store
    
• make the store group writable:
  
  • chmod -R g+w store
    
• make all the directories in the store setgid so files that are created in there belong to the right group
  
  • find store -type d | xargs chmod g+s
    
• set the umask of the serving process by editing apache.py to include, near the top but below import os:
  
  • os.umask(0002)
