Espionage 3 / Multi-user access?
December 02, 2014, 10:39:43 AM
I'd like to know if I can set Espionage3 up on a 10.9 / Mavericks Apple File Server so that data stored in a password-protected folder can be accessed by multiple users / clients on the LAN.  For example, Client A mounts the Server, opens the Espionage3-protected folder on the mounted volume, creates a file, saves that file in in the Espionage3-protected folder, and then closes the file.  Client B then mounts the local server, opens the same Espionage3-protected folder, and then opens Client A's file.  Client B makes changes to this file and saves / updates it.

I know -- Server.app is supposed to allow for me (the Admin) to create groups and place users in those groups so that they will have privileged access to certain volumes, folders, and files.  Well, that was working just fine with 10.6 Server.  But 10.9 Server has ruined these access permissions / privileges.  Clients are alerted they cannot alter / update files created by other users.  I've been round and round with tech support with no fix.  I would rather not reinstall 10.9 or 10.10 from scratch (huge project), so I'm searching for alternatives.

Will Espionage3 allow me to do what I've described above?  If not, do you have suggestions?

thanks!
