允许对/ var / www / html拥有完全权限

Question

We have a group of developers, they login to server with their own username and password. They all want to edit files in /var/www/html folder.

I know we can add the developers to www-data group and setuid for /var/www/html folder, then 775 all files. But one of the requirement is not to change file permissions.

Is there a way i can give developers full access to /var/www/html with out changing file permissions ?

Yes, there's setfacl utility (sets Access Control Lists (ACLs) of files and directories).

setfacl -m g:hondev:rwx /var/www/html

The -m ( --modify ) and -M ( --modify-file ) options modify the ACL of a file or directory.
