[SOLVED] You need permission to perform this action

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

I am stuck once again :) after copying alle my files from my old harddisk to the unraid system. I got stuck with files deleting or changing.

What works is doing all of this using SSH / Telnet as root - but making any changes on the SMB Share under Windows 7/8 creates "You need permissiont to perform this action." error.

I already rebooted unraid.

I ran the new permission script and the permissions are set correctly including the user and group.

My share is set to public - which has no effect at all.

I also set it to secure - created a user with RW access and mounted the drive with the users credentials - deleting or changin not working.

 

I also ran chmod 0666 from command line but still the same.

 

Reiserfscheck hasn't reported any issues.

 

Thanks

I'm not a Windows user, but there's something similar in another thread.

The diagnosis there was that Windows had stored an old login/pswd.

The recommendation was something about deleting [the settings for the unRAID server] in the CREDENTIALS file on the Windows box. 

(Credentials is in Control Panel? or Security?)

hi,

 

thanks for your advice but this didn't work.

I also took a brand new PC which wasn't using the share before and still the same.

no way to delete files or change existing ones nevertheless if I use my "user" or just the public everyone "user"

 

but I can create new files and change and delete them.

 

Huh....

You ran the permissions script after upgrading to 5.0.

 

 

Now from a userid (not root), you can read/write/delete new files, but from the same userid to an older file (not created by that userid), you can only read.    :o

 

 

Sorry you've exceeded by Windows knowledge. Time for the bright guys to chime in.

Paste the terminal session text showing "ls -la" output including the problem files. Create a non-problem file in the same directory to compare.

Sounds like you have write permission inside the folder, but do not have write permission on the folder itself.

solved my problem - I thought the new permission script sets every permission right - which it didn't - should have reviewed it.

 

what happend is /mnt/user/movies had the right permissions /mnt/user/movies/Movies (German) for any reason had the wrong permission but right user and groups - and all files within the folder were right too.

so if fixed it easily - don't know why I haven't seen it first time
