Hello everyone! I need to read, for each of the directories in a shared file server unit, who has access to the directories and what type of access privileges.
This is something that I can easily do interactively in my Windows Document Explorer by right clicking a single directory, clicking on Properties, then on Security. There I can see the Users and Group of Users that have access to the selected directory, as well as the type of access to that directory (Read/Write/eXecute etc.) Since I have to prepare a new access scheme, I first need to read what the current situation is. I've been looking in the "os" library, and found the "os.chmod" method but I am not sure that it is going to give me what I need. Should I also used library "stat"? So far I have not been able to find my way to the solution of this problem. Googling the web, I have seen that some examples provive some kind of information but using codes (755 or 0577) that I shoud translate to some form of understandable text messages. I think that my problem consists of finding the correct library/method to get the solution. Can anybody help?
