Reset Permissions Plugin For OMV7

• Openmediavault-resetperms provides a tool to modify the permissions of shared folders and all their content at the file system level from the OMV GUI. The form displays a column with the services associated with each shared folder.
• Modifying permissions can be useful if your file system comes from another system and you want to reset the permissions of your folders, if you want to remove ACL permissions, or if you want to customize the permissions of each shared folder differently. Or if you simply want to change the permissions of a shared folder that is already created.
• This plugin does not make changes to the permissions applied to the services (Samba, NFS, …) if not at the file system level. Changes applied at the file system level will take precedence over the permissions configured in your services if they are more restrictive. Once the file system level permissions have been applied through this plug-in, you can further restrict these permissions by configuring each service. You can consult extended information about NAS permissions in OMV
• Changes applied to a shared folder using this plugin will be applied recursively, that is, they will be applied to the folder and all its subfolders and files equally.

• OMV-Extras must be pre-installed.

In OMV7's GUI:
Under System, Plugins, find and highlight openmediavault-resetperms 7.X, and click the install button.

• Modify permissions of an existing folder

• Go to Services > Reset Perms In the tab you can see a list of the system's shared folders. To modify the permissions of a folder do the following:
  • Select a folder in the list (yellow color).
  • Press the Reset permissions menu button. A dialog box will open to modify the permissions of the selected folder. In this dialog box do the following:
    • In the Permissions field, select the permissions you want to apply to the folder.
      • If you want to reset the permissions of a folder to the standard OMV permissions, set this field with the options Administrator - read/write, Users - read/write, Others - read-only.
    • If you want to remove the ACL permissions from the shared folder, click the Clear ACLs button. By default, shared folders in OMV do not have ACL permissions.
    • Press the Reset button. The changes will be applied recursively to all subfolders and files in the shared folder.

• Check the status of shared folders, associated services

• Go to Services> Reset Permissions> Shared Folders in Use Here you can see a list of your OMV shared folders, next to each of them you can see the services that are currently associated with that shared folder. This is useful if at any time you want to delete a shared folder, since in order to do so, you must first remove the services that point to that shared folder. You just have to consult this list and delete them (or point to another folder) one by one.
