Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] phpWebHosting and ACL

[Giancarlo Susin]

I've tried your patch, but haven't got ACL working as expected; only 
full access to the user/group who owns the folder.

What I think would be the expected behaviour is:
- a group can give to another group or user access to its folder
- a group can set the privileges (read, add, edit or delete) other 
groups or users have on its folder
- a group can restrict the privileges its own members have (e.g. to give 
 full access to one user only)

This would be set in Admin ACL page, having the defaults set through the 
Setup option you've mentioned.

Looking at files phpgwapi/inc/class.vfs_sql.inc.php and 
phpwebhosting/index.php it seems some coding is still needed to get 
things working this way. I'm not sure I can get this, but I can try.

Thanks,

Giancarlo
