Hi,

I can access the group shared folder from the terminal, however, I can not access the folder via “Files” app. Could someone give me some guidance, please?

[dmu@hal-login irisk\_gl] ls -al total 2 drwxrwx--- 2 root irisk\_gl 4096 Feb 14 22:35 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Feb 14 22:36 .. [dmu@hal-login irisk\_gl] pwd  
/home/shared/irisk\_gl  
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
EACCES: permission denied, scandir ‘/home/shared/irisk\_gl/’

Thank you in advance,

Dawei

I wonder if there’s any issue with selinux? Do you see anything odd in your audit log?

Are you a member of the irisk\_gl group on the ondemand server, i.e. where the Files app is running?
