[sims] SIMS Server folder permissions (S:/SIMS/*)

[howartp]

Good morning

 

Our entire SNOVA folder has disappeared from //server/share/SIMS (aka S:/SIMS) last weekend but only come to light today as both staff who'd use it have been off this week.

 

It's led me to look at permissions, currently AllStaff have Read/Write/Modify on S:/* including /SIMS/Census, CTFs, Setups etc, the whole /MSSQL folder structure, /DOCSTORAGE and /4Matrix.

 

This is clearly overkill, but does anyone know what standard JoeBloggs needs to be able to operate SIMS? Just /DOCSTORAGE and /SIMS/Connect.ini? Or more than that?

 

(The ESS article says Read/Write on /* but that's not much better)

In general all staff get read only here.

 

Timetabler, admissions, and data team have full control.

So all staff can read the School Workforce Census XML with staff salaries in?

We have removed the ace for the group that grants all staff permission to read the census folders.

Assuming a standard install, write permissions will be needed by the following users on the following folders:

Timetabler – S:\SIMS\SNOVA

Exams Officer – S:\SIMS\EXAMS

Anyone using Options – S:\SIMS\OPTIONS

Anyone using Attendance letter templates – S:\SIMS\Attend

Anyone processing CTF’s and ATF’s – S:\SIMS\STAR

anything else can be read and most users fodon't need the mapped S drive anyway.
