<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Thank you for your reply.<br><br>1. Is there a relatively simple way to prohibit 'visitor' from removing files/folders from their home directory? Such as .mozilla? etc. Which of course could end up ruining their account. [could a solution be removing 'visitors' write permissions? Hopefully 'visitor' would still be able to write a file to the Shared folder then correct?<br><br>2. A while back I read a page on the 'ask ubuntu' website concerning 'prohibiting guest from emptying trash folder and deleting files' There were about 4 steps that semi worked as I recall. 'visitor' was unable to empty trash at the end. Though 'visitor' was still able to enter the file manager and delete files that way. I ended up reverting everything within 'visitors' account back to standard settings. <br><br>So if I remove the 'write permissions' from 'visitor' leave group alone so 'visitors' permissions would look like this: dr-xrwx--- 29 visitor visitor 4.0K Apr 18 19:22 visitor <br><br>Any ideas on this matter?<br><br>Attached to this email is a screenshot of the systems installed users permissions/groups on the computer as of now shown in the bash-terminal.<br><br>Thanks for your help.<br><br><div>> Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 17:43:04 -0500<br>> From: tclug@freakzilla.com<br>> To: tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] A visitor account setup.<br>> <br>> On Mon, 21 Apr 2014, paul g wrote:<br>> <br>> > If I can ask why when user 'paul' is selected it does not show that 'paul is<br>> > a member of paul's group'?<br>> > is it because 'paul' is an administrator?<br>> <br>> "paul" is probably in many groups. There's really no need to create a <br>> group specifically for "paul" since "paul" is a regular user, not a <br>> special user. You're not going to create multiple users who have the same <br>> special access as "paul" does.<br>> <br>> Groups are for combining roles, so you'll have "users", "administrators", <br>> etc.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br>> tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list<br></div> </div></body>
