I am designing a system for someone who wants to use UNIX permissions rather than Windows ACLs.
I created a dataset with UNIX permissions and set them accordingly. But Windows also seems to be trying to manage permissions because when I check the permissions of a file through Windows Explorer, the group does not have write permissions. However, the group does have write permissions through UNIX.
So nobody at the moment can write to a file owned by someone else, which is not ideal.
I've seen posts about using Windows permissions on the dataset, but what is the argument for doing so? I need to justify my reasoning. 99% of clients are Windows, the rest Linux. What's recommended here?
Thanks
