 In this ticket — #24525 – Set files permissions - new feature

I need the same feature ask in this ticket

Having a button to apply the Default Permission (Not Saved)

You say

Since by definition a single file/folder can only have one set of permissions applied onto it it grows to reason that asking me to apply both permission sets makes zero sense. You either apply the custom permissions or the default permissions. Indeed, if there are no custom permissions set then the default permissions are applied. This is already documented.

I have a Joomla 3.6.2 that won't update (on a crappy environment) and end up in an internal server error each time I push the Update Joomla Button.

One of the possible Culprit are the permissions.
I ALWAYS use a custom relatively complex set of permissions to secure all my Joomla sites.

Saddly without the possibility of applying the default permission, I need to undo ALL my relatively complex set of permissions to be able to test an update under a “Normal” set of permissions and will have to redo again my custom set when update (if it’s the problem)

Having a button to “Apply” the Default Permission (Not Saved) will permit me to test a normal set of permission and revert easily to my custom set after testing.

In order to revert the permissions back, Admin Tools would have to "remember" the previous settings. It can't do that. Making them normal is easy but there is no way to automate the reversal within Admin Tools.

You might try enabling the Joomla! FTP layer. We normally use that to work around file ownership problems, but FTP is much more tolerant of permissions issues that http. It is worth a try to see if it will work around your custom permissions.

Thank You, the problem on this site the problem is something else than permission but I will take your FTP Layer advice in note.


I was thinking it will be easy to do ????
• You already have the inputs for the custom permission in your interface.

• You already have a choice of “Default” permission, I was thinking as a button on the right that “Apply Default permissions”

As you have input the Custom permission you can always revert to the Custom by Your existing button “Apply Custom Position”

You can see the idea in the attached image…

Good Weekend!

I checked with Davide, one of our programmers. He thought it would be a lot of work to add the feature and that there would be a lot of potential issues that would have to be worked around.

Understand, I’m not a programmer, was looking easy but will be a nice possibility.

Good Day ! You can close the ticket.
