Set default permissions for new files?

We have a small LAN where different users often need to open and resave each others' files. No server, just a bunch of client computers on ethernet sharing an internet router.
Each time a user creates a file, that file's permissions default to read only for anyone but that user. How can I set up the default permissions so that any newly-created files default to Read & Write for "groups" and "others".
I anticipate I will have to make this change for each user on each workstation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you want users to share files then have them place the file in the /Users/Shared/ folder. Files placed in that folder can be accessed by any user.

  • Default optimization for new files in Acrobat 9 Pro

    When I create a new file in Acrobat Pro 9, it automatically saves as version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). Much as I would love the whole world to have the latest reader version on their computer, the reality is that many of my website's users have older versions installed. As a consequence, I need to optimize all files as version 1.4, otherwise they won't be able to open the documents in their browsers.
    Why isn't there a preference setting to optimize all new files as 1.4 by default? This would save having to run the optimizer every time. Also, if I start from a file that is already optimized as 1.4, I extract a page and save it, this saves as 1.6. Why? If I am starting from a 1.4 PDF, surely that's the version I want?
    So every time I extract a page, tese are the steps I have to take:
    1) Extract and save the page
    2) Optimize it for 1.4
    3) Save it again (after confirming that yes, I do indeed want to overwrite it).
    I do this several times a day and it's an absolute pain in the neck, which could be avoided by implemeting any of these features:
    1) A setting under Preferences> Default PDF Version for new files;
    2) A PDF version selection box within the "Save As" dialog (I believe this feature has been requested by others);
    3) Acrobat Pro realizing that you have extracted the page from a 1.4 file and therefore saving the new file with the same format;
    4) Some sort of batch optimization option, so I only have to run the conversion once.
    Frankly I'm surprised none of these features already exist.
    Come on Adobe, is this really so hard to do?
    Thank you.

  • It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

    It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
    And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail
    ''edited to remove swearing''

    I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
    That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
    represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
    This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
    settings), and this is the result:
    this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.

  • Read-only access permissions for new files/folders?

    System:
    Clean Install on new intel Xserve
    10.4.8 Server w/ Open Directory
    Windows clients can read/write completely fine...
    Clients connecting using AFP (whether Standard or Kerberos authentication) can access files, but when new files/folders are created on the server, they register as full permissions for the user who created them, but not for the rest of the group.
    The share(s) in question are set using POSIX from WGM: Full access for owner/group/everyone (changed it to this thinking it would help, but it does not). Of course, no one can make changes to a newly-created/deposited files/folders, which is just plain silly.
    I can chmod the permissions recursively from a script (which fixes the problem, of course) on a regular basis so that its not (as much of) an issue, but there is still a 5-minute lag for the script to kick in, since we don't want to bombard the server with chmod requests every minute....which is unnecessary in the first place!
    I have plenty of other setups which are identical but have no such issue...
    Any reason why POSIX permissions on the share are being ignored from every user account?
    Thanks,
    k

    "That's default posix behaviour no matter what access permissions you set on the sharepoint."
    I'm afraid this is dead wrong. What matters most is how you set permissions on the share, not if you've chosen to inherit vs. using POSIX. POSIX is still used in inherit functions, though you can use ACL's to override them. In this case, ACL's are not being used on those shares (though we tried it).
    After all, why would Apple (let alone anyone else) even offer the ability to change POSIX permissions on a share if it didn't have any effect? That would be somewhat contradictory in nature.
    Like I said before, I have several other installations which are identically setup that have no such issues.
    As for Windows, it is also not set to inherit permissions; we're setting those explicitly. And they work fine.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    k

  • Cannot set default programs for a file extension in Gnome

    After a gnome upgrade (cannot remember when), I can no longer set the default program for a particular file extension by right clicking the file in nautilus -> going to "properties" -> going to "open with" tab -> highlighting a program -> pressing "set as default".

    The program I was trying to set was totem for default video playback; wine had made windows media player the default player prior. Interestingly, once I installed gnome-mplayer; the default program changed to gnome-mplayer and I was then able to switch default programs. This error may be related to wine.

  • How to set default permissions for files and folders

    We have mac and windows computers on a network where we use Mac OSX Server 10.4 to share files. When files are created on windows computer, no problem, all users can read/write these files. However on our 2 macs (1 10.3 and 1 10.4), other users are blocked from using the files, only the owner has "read/write", group and others are "read only". As far as I can tell, file sharing is turned on ok in Workgroup Manager for the folders we share files from. How can we establish sharing for all users on our network?

    Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

  • Set default app for generic files

    I don't know when this started happening, but some OSX update broke my opening generic files. Now when I doubleclick the generic file icon it opens in Microsoft Word, which is unacceptable. So I deleted Word and now the files open in a genealogy application, which has to throw a number of error dialogs before it can be closed.
    How do generic files know to open in the genealogy app? Is this something in Launch Services I can change to set them to open in a decent UNIX editor? This bugs me, because it all worked well until a few months ago.
    If I say:
    defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices 'LSHandlers'
    the resulting text contains:
    LSHandlerContentTag = ged;
    LSHandlerContentTagClass = "public.filename-extension";
    LSHandlerIgnoreCreator = 1;
    LSHandlerRoleAll = "uk.ac.qmw.dcs.seegedcomx";
    seegedcomx is the app that now opens all generic files. Is there a way to set this to a proper application?

    More than likely it's a LaunchServices problem and you should reset its database. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html for details.

  • Setting default version for iWork files

    I installed the trial version of iWork '09 and decided not to purchase it. I deleted these applications, but when I reset the default version of Numbers to Numbers '08 (v.1.0.3) rather than Numbers '09 (v.2.0) using the "Open with:" then "Change all..." feature in Get Info, it opens correctly only once, and I have to reset it every time. I have the same problem with Pages and Keynote. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for the response, but this has nothing to do with how files were saved. It has to do with setting the default application used to open any word processing or spreadsheet or presentation file.
    In the meantime, I've solved my own problem. I discovered a little application called AppDelete, and after I used this application to delete all of the iWork '09 applications, the defaults were re-set to iWork '08 applications.

  • Setting default program for torrent files

    When I download a torrent file, I get the window that says 'You have chosen to open:...... which is: torrent File. What should Firefox to with this file?
    I can chose to save the file or Open With... and I browse to Tixati. However, the box that gives the option to do this automatically with files like this from now on is grayed out. Torrent files are not listed on the Applications in Options. This works fine in IE, but not in Firefox. What can I do?

    For further information, I made uTorrent my default torrent file and Firefox immediately gave the option of opening with uTorrent. As Tixati is a better program for this purpose with an increasing number of users, Firefox needs to enable default opening with Tixati.

  • Set pages to be default program for *.doc files

    Is it possible to set pages to be the default program which my computer will ALWAYS use to open a MS word document? In windows i could set default programs for specific file types, e.g. .jpg, .mpg, mp3. I did not have to assign a program to open the program every single time. As far as I can tell , I have had to request pages to open my word documents every time i open a word doc. for the first time. Although I can set pages to be the default program for that one file, i want it set to ALWAYS OPEN ALL WORD DOCS. , until further specified. Any suggestions?
    thx.

    Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.

  • ALV Grid default values for new rows added with Add/Insert buttons

    Hi!
    Help, please,  to find a way how to set default values for new rows added with Add/Insert buttons in
    ALV Grid.

    I have found salution:
    ALV Grid u2013 Insert row function
    Sometimes we need to assign some default values when we create a new row in a grid using standard ALV Append row button. In our scenario we will see how to assign default values to Airline Code (CARRID), Flight Connection Number (CONNID) and Flight date (FLDATE) when a new row is created. To do that we need to handle DATA_CHANGED event in the program like mentioned below.
