Setting permissions for repository access
To increase security, write permission must be restricted for directories in the SSTK repository.
This also guarantees the integrity of files which should have read-only permission.
The repository structure has changed with SSTK 2.7, moving the read-only drivers and
software directories to the root of the repository to enhance security and simplify configuring
permissions on Windows. The new folder structure allows users to have read-write permissions
for only the data_files directory. All other directories must be set to read-only. SSTK checks
the user permissions after the repository is mounted and logs a warning message if permissions
are not set correctly. Table 2-1 indicates appropriate permissions for each SSTK directory.
