Q: Who has permission to change files in a locker or website?

Answer

Note about websites This information only applies to websites hosted out of lockers in AFS. That is, the URL for your site must begin with "http://web.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org" or "http://mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org".

First, you will need to know the name of your locker. For your personal website, this is your username. For other websites, it will be the first component of the URL after either "mit.edu" or "web.mit.edu". For example:

Once you have the locker name, you can examine the permissions with the fs command:

Access list for /mit/hlockername is
Normal rights:
  system:mylabgroup rlidwka
  system:expunge ld
  system:anyuser rl
  jruser rlidwka
  joeuser rlidwk

In the example above, the moira list mylabgroup has full permissions, as does the user jruser. The user joeuser only has permission to edit files.
