Hi,
Im writing a simple document tracking and storage application. The
documents are being stored under a given root folder. This root
folder is specific to the application. The application will create
folders and files on a regular basis as documents are tracked under
this root folder. The application will have many users authenticated
by the application itself.
The crunch of the matter is other than the owner of the folder i only
want to allow access to this root folder and all its children to the
application itself - Is this possible?
Else it would seem outside of the application, users could go into
this folder and make changes which is highly undesirable for me as
each document is synchronised with a database meta record.
In a sense it would be analogous to a version control system using the
filesystem as its medium of storage, you dont want to allow
modifications to this storage area outside of the version control
system itself.
Could anyone help me on this matter?
Thanks.
