Hi,
I create a shared dir for my users, owned by their group:
mkdir -p /project
chmod 2770 /project
chown :project /project
I put my users in the group ‘project’.
They can cd to this dir and list/create files fine at the cmdline. However if they use File / Nautlius it always prompts for their password “Authentication Required”. I see this in the journal if it helps any:

Is this something about polkit getting in the way?
Thanks for any help in advance!
