Hi,
I was using !
IFileStore.fetchInfo().getAttribute(EFS.ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY) to check if
a directory is writeable.
I noticed that this check return true if the owner of the file has +w
permissions, but not if the user has effective permissions.
For example, suppose a directory owned by root and that has write
permissions only for root. A user, eg daniel, will call
IFileStore.fetchInfo().getAttribute(EFS.ATTRIBUTE_READ_ONLY) and return
false, meaning that it is possible to write to the directory. But
actually, daniel has not permission to write the directory only root.
Did someone also have this problem?
Best regards,
Daniel F
