#How to set app permissions

After installing an app in CasaOS, it seems that the app needs to be granted permissions to relevant files. I am not sure how to do this, or if this is covered in documentation somewhere. Attached is an image to show what I'm trying to do, granting Plex access to a folder where media files are stored.

#

when I make what seems to be the correct changes to the app, the app no longer loads, and gives me an XML error

Hi,

you can use htop to see with which user the process of the app is running.

You would have to set the folder owner to that user probably

I fixed the XML display problem by simply removing the app and re-installing it on CasaOS. Not sure what the cause of that was. As for the permissions issue, I just had to make sure the user was assigned, which was done with this command using the default "pi" user: sudo chown -R pi:pi /mnt/demeter (my mounted external HDD is named "demeter").
