How To: Set permissions to inherit from Group

Question

How can I set permissions to inherit only in Group level and not by individual users? 

Reasoning

It is better to manage many Users permissions if it is under group permission.

Answer

Follow the below steps-by-steps procedure.

Pre-requisites

1. Titan NexGen service is running in your Windows Services.

Steps

1. Login to your Titan NexGen Server.
2. Navigate to your Server > Groups > ‘+’ sign to add a new group
3. Enter Native Group Information

1. Group Name: Enter a group name
2. Home Directory: User home directories default to group directories
   
3. Sub Directory: C:\srtMFTData\Titan MFT Server\
   
   ***for Sub Directory, specify the path to use for this group files and directory***
4. Click ‘Next’.
   

4. In the Assign Members page, click ‘Finish’.
5. Navigate to your Server > Users > ‘+’ to add a new user
6. In the new window, enter the following information

1. User Full Name
2. User Name
3. Password
4. Confirm Password
5. Email Address
6. User Description

7. Then Click ‘Next’.
8. In the ‘Assign to Groups’ page, make sure that your group is at the Current Groups, aside from the default group (Everyone) 
   
   
9. Then click ‘Next’.
10. In the ‘Configure User Options’ page, fill out the following information

1. Primary Group – This should be your group, and not Everyone
2. Home Directory – Inherit home directory from group.

11. Click ‘Finish’.

To Verify and confirm that you are inheriting the permission from the group:

1. Login to Titan
2. Navigate Users > Click the pencil icon under edit > choose ‘Edit User Files & Directories’ 
3. Under Directory Access, verify if the Path defined there is under the Group Level. See below image:
   
   

**** Image above shows that the user is inheriting the permissions to the group and once you changed it on the group level, it will automatically change the permissions to the user level ******
