I would second MatthieuPERIN's requirement below which I believe shall give us more flexible control over OC.
/projetcA -> shared among all participant using group / user permission /projetcA/work -> shared among all participant using group / user permission /projecta/team -> shared among all participant using group / user permission /projectA/admin -> protected folder with password for administrator of project /projetcA/admin/finacial -> protected by the upper folder .....
The features:
Admin of the shared folder should be able to protect the access of a (sub)folder using a password using web interface (minimal feature) Admin of the shared folder should be able to protect the access of a (sub)folder using a password directly using the local desktop agent (improvement feature) This is clearly a way to produce a more accurate access control for sub folder inside a shared folder.
I would prefer an option to set specific permissions on subdirectories of a current share. Either you are authorized to see it or not. Extra passwords are very annoying.
I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. I have a owncloud for my company and one for private. When I'm in my office, I want to be able to edit both folders, but no staff. Employees should be able to edit the folder "Company", "Private" should be password protected. How can I protect the folder "Private"? Does anyone have a little guide?
Right now you do need to generate a seperate folder "private" and share that with the needed rights. Password protection is possible for public links at this time - which can then be federated by your users.
The overrall discussion was about "Project Rooms" which shall be a new view on folders with the ability to break inheritance, which we don't allow currently.
