Hi everyone, we rely on owncloud in our organization and I shared the .exe file with all team members to ensure consistency. The issue arises because in the same directory as the executable, you'll find configuration files that control access and user permissions for the password database. I don't want specific users to have unrestricted access, preventing them from modifying or copying our database. My goal was to set up two folders: one containing the program, config files, and password database with restricted viewing rights for certain users, and another folder (folder2) where a shortcut to keypass.exe is stored. This shortcut should point to folder1, which resides in folder2, while keeping visibility limited for some colleagues. I need a solution that creates a relative shortcut that bypasses the entire folder2 structure and simply links to folder1 located within it. Please let me know if this approach works as intended. Thank you!
I haven't because we don't use a server so I have to manually turn off reading rights for each user (we're only three, so it's fine). But now I face another issue. Just because something isn't readable doesn't mean it can't be copied. I didn't have trouble finding it and then simply right-clicked to copy it to my desktop—after that all restrictions disappeared.
This happens since NTFS permissions are based on volumes rather than individual files. Read-only settings let users copy files, but the real fix requires a proper rights management system like ABE, which was discussed earlier.
This suggests you need a Windows Server since you're using only local Win7 machines and accessing access owncloud on a hosted server. Your attempt to skip the password database files (.kbdx) for indexing seems to be a viable approach.
