Ubuntu server

[Kylian]

Hello I have a problem on ubuntu server with group and owner permissions of a directory
I have 3 users mat,Brandon,kylian
I have the folders
/servers/mmtp
/servers/Brandon
Now I set the home directory from mat to /servers/mmtp and the home directory from Brandon to /servers/Brandon
I also made the groups mmtp and Brandon I have set the folder /servers/mmtp to owner kylian and group mmtp same for the /servers/Brandon owner is kylian and group is Brandon
wen ever I set the permissions from these 2 directory's to 0755 both users can access edit and delete all files in each directory I want it so kylian can access everything and mat can access /servers/mmtp and Brandon /servers/Brandon but not each others folder setting permissions 0755 will allow them to both edit the directory even though the groups and owner are correctly set

If /servers/mmtp is the home folder for mat then mat should be the owner. Same with Brandon. If you want kylian to have full permissions on those folders make kylian a member of groups mmtp and Brandon; set the ownership of /servers to kylian, the ownership of mmtp to mat:mmtp and the ownership of Brandon to Brandon:Brandon, then set all permissions to 770.

This is working.

Also if i make a new user lets say mitchel i can just add him to 1 of the groups i made to allow him to acces 1 of the folders?

also can i make that users home folder also the same as 1 of the other users?

No. I mean, you can, but you're going to have problems. Why do you want to do this?

I don't think you need to share home folders between users for that

I just want to isloate them so multiple uses can acces 1 folder and other multiple users the other and are unable to acces each others folders

Yeah, you don't need to make that folder the users' home folder to make that work. What we did before with the permissions works with any folder (except system folders, never change permissions on those) - a user's home folder is where that user's specific data is stored, messing with it can cause problems and in your case there's no reason to do it.

The reason i changed the home folder is they shut only be able to acces the co responding server folder nofing else

Make another partition and use it as a shared storage between all your user. Create a group call shares_storage_1 and assign all users with permission to that partition to that group. Change group ownership of everything in that partition to your shares_storage_1 and do a chmod -R 770.

 

If you need more shared storage, create more partitions and groups. You don't need to share home folders.
