I have a situation where I need a user-level process to be able to read,
write, and create some files, but want to prevent the user (non-admin) from
seeing or deleting those files in the Finder. My thought is to put these
files inside a folder with mode=777, but to have that folder inside another
with mode=770.
So for example
/Library/Application Support/My App/Restricted Data/files.*
775 775 770 777 777
This succeeds in keeping the user from browsing into the My App folder in
the Finder, but will a non-admin process (that is, one launched by a
non-admin user) have free rein inside the Restricted Data folder or are
suitable permissions required all the way up the path?
Thanks!
John
