Reset ACLs (Blogs Directory Permissions)

For a small percentage of users, the ACLs (permissions) for the /blogs/ directory must be reset in order for the Blogs at Penn State to post entries properly. You will only need to do this if you have activated your Penn State Personal Web space, but receive a directory permissions error.

To Reset ACLs

1. Login to https://www.work.psu.edu
2. Click the Reset PASS Permissions to default (ACL Reset) link in the left menu. You will be asked to log in again.
3. Click the Proceed button in the next window.

This will change all settings for all directories back to the default settings. Please allow 15-30 minutes for processing.

If you need to to set custom ACLs, please post a message to blogs@psu.edu

If the above steps do not fix your problem you may need to recreate your www folder. Please see http://kb.its.psu.edu/psu-all/hd/deletedwwwfolder for steps to take. Note that between steps 1 and 2 you'll also need to create a folder called "blogs" within the www folder.
