Access Permissions

CloudFile implements a different Permission handling like other systems.

Normally a parent Directory with prohibited access will also prevent me from accessing subdirectories.
Because the default permission handlings are handled from left to right.

Example
The path
/main/sub/directory/
will checked like this:

  1. Did I have access to /main, if not prevent complete access
  2. Did I have access to /main/sub, if not prevent complete access
  3. Did I have access to /main/sub/directory, if not prevent complete access

If all this is true, I could access this directory.
