I have just created a new directory called sync in the location /home/sync.I created the directory as user liam, I then done a chown -R rslsync:rslsync /home/sync. This changed the owner to user rslsync no problem. I added myself liam to the rslsync group. I then created another folder in the directory named test so the directory is now /home/sync/test. When I try to point my rslsync folder location to be /home/sync/test it tells me rslsync doesn't have write permissions to the folder. I run an ls -l and it shows root root.How does an owner of the top directory folder rslsync not have access to one of its sub folders thats created by another user thats even in the same group as itself? Am I missing something here?EDITdrwxr-xr-x. 3 rslsync rslsync 18 Aug 26 17:09 /home/syncdrwxr-xr-x. 2 root    root     6 Aug 26 17:09 /home/sync/testWhen i created the folder test i used sudo as it wouldnt let me create it otherwise.Group liam shows as thisliam : liam wheel rslsync
Why cant owner of folder write to a folder created by a different user
permissions;group
