@brevilo - thanks. We'll label this as a feature as the described functionality for relative or symbolic values currently does not exist (that we know of) and needs to be added. If we find that the functionality does exist and it's just not working we can go back and label this a bug. |

I think this functionality is still missing, based on a skim of the file state module documentation. https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.file.html |

Given that file permissions are a fundamental building block of security, I think that calling this issue a "feature" is inaccurate. This is a bug 🐛 This issue is still present. For example: Lines 739 to 754 in b45c319 |

It's more than a skosh disheartening that this ticket is still open given that I first started following it back in 2016 (over seven years ago, now, and a couple months shy my issue-join's 7th anniversary, at this point) |

I think part of the problem is that the python builtin sdk does not provide this functionality so you either have to write your own logic or use a module like https://github.com/linsomniac/symbolicmode. |

The
salt.states.filemodule allows to set file/directory permissions by specifying common numerical UNIX mode values (seefileanddirectoryfunctions). In contrast tochmod, however, it doesn't support relative or symbolic mode values likeg+w. Thus one can only modify permissions as a whole, not individual bits (without workarounds likesalt.states.cmd.run).Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
