Access to Datameer Folders
Hi All,
I am not the admin and would Need your help on enforcing access control at folder level. Is it possible to provide read/write access to a folder identified where all development will happen ( let us call as Dev folder) and all other folders only read permissions. for example Folder1 - Dev where one group will do only development, but folder-2 & folder 3 contain workbooks whose output can be read by development folks. Till today the team members were having read/write access on top hierarchy and I plan to split them into dev team and production team

Ganesh,
Good afternoon!
Yes, what you are looking for is possible.
First, you will need to ensure the users are in a compatible group configuration. For example, all of the developers belong to a DEV group and either the lead developer or perhaps the admin are in a different group such as PROD. Then you can assign read/write permissions based on group membership.
It is also possible to have one user responsible for owning the read-only Workbooks and share just read access to the group DEV. This sharing user can even be a part of the DEV group, but keep the ownership of the artifacts as personal with sharing enabled.
For more additional information, please review the following Datameer documentation:

Hi Brian Junio, Thanks. I just set up a user to a different group. I am not an admin. we now have two groups.
1. global_prdrw and region_prdrw. I tried to cascade permissions for both groups but is not working. also I have selected a workbook inside a folder and in the Sharing tab tried including the global and region. But i get an error message saying only one group is allowed. How to ensure that I have a folder which has read/write access to two different groups.
Thanks in advance for your inputs

Hello Ganesh.
If you run Datameer with impersonation, you can't share an artifact with more than one group - the permissions are applied to files and folders in HDFS as well, as one can't share a file with more than one group. Please refer to the Single group mode and Secure Impersonation with Datameer sections of our documentation for more details.
