Permissions set from file manager are not saved.

Article ID: 6640

Last updated by: Kichigin Aleksey APPLIES TO:
  • Plesk 7.x for Windows
  • Plesk 8.x for Windows
  • Plesk 9.x for Windows

Symptoms

Parallels Panel allows to change permissions for files and directories using file manager. But some permissions are not saved. For example:

1. Create directory under httpdocs using file manager.
2. Set Read&Execute permission to IUSR_domainftpuser user for that directory.
3. Parallels Panel reports that it is OK: "Information: File or directory access permissions were updated."
4. Return to permissions modification page - corresponding checkboxes are not set.

Cause

It happens because of optimization which is automatically performed by Parallels Panel. It actually does grant required permission for the object, but it does so only for deficient (lacking) permissions.
In the example above Parallels Panel set special permissions for "Files only", because "Read" for "This folders and subfolders" is already inherited from parent object.
So the required set of permissions is actually granted, but it is split in two Access Control Entries (ACE) therefore Windows does not recognize it as Read&Execute and eventually this is not shown properly in Parallels Panel file manager.

Resolution

This permissions display issue will be fixed in future versions of Parallels Panel.
