Request: Restrict default file share/folder permissions to private


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I hope I didn't just misconfigure anything, but:

Problem: On my HexOS, all folders/shares for Applications, Movies, other Media, and so on, were fully available to any anonymous user on my network. As a lot of the applications are meant to work with and store personal data, this is, for me, a security nightmare. It undermines any login or security measure configured in the app itself. In one of the recent updates, there was also a new folder introduced, which is again public, but worse, I can't modify it in the command deck.

Suggested solution: By default, only allow the initially created user to access all the standard folders/shares and encourage the user to create new folders with access restrictions by default. I've already set all Manageable folders/shares to be private and all my apps seem to still work.

Greetings

We no longer share the Applications folder on SMB by default.

I will float the idea of setting new system shares as private by default with the team.
