Recursive vchmod on CAVERN

[drtobybrown]

It is critical for group data and project sharing that users can change permissions on directories and their subfolders.

If we fix issue opencadc/skaha#117 I think it may be possible work around this by recursing into directories, executing the vchmod command on each file/directory found.

This may be the fastest/easiest way of solving this issue for the beta stage. A better solution should be found in the future.

Just wanted to note that you can use regular chmod from within arcade--no need for vchmod.

Tried chmod -R a+rw folder/ and chmod -R 775 folder/ but other users still unable to write to (sub)directories.

Fixed issue opencadc/skaha#117.

With opencadc/skaha#117 fixed, here is the work around

In cavern/ directory find path_to_dir/ -type d,f -exec vchmod [mode] arc:{} "[group(s)]" \;

This with recurse into directories, executing the vchmod command on each file and directory found

Closing with work-around in place.
