Shared Access to Suite Volume on Linux

Suite on Linux limits volume access by default. To allow all users (incl. root) read/write access, enable FUSE_ALLOW_OTHER.

By default, Suite’s FUSE integration on Linux restricts specific access permissions for security reasons. If you need other users (including root) to have read/write access to the Suite volume, enabling FUSE_ALLOW_OTHER will achieve this.

Update /etc/fuse.conf

  1. Open /etc/fuse.conf in your text editor:
    ​
    ​sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf
    ​

  2. Locate the line containing #user_allow_other and remove the leading #:
    ​
    ​user_allow_other
    ​

  3. Save the file and exit the editor.


​Configure Suite

With Suite started.
​

suite config set -k FUSE_ALLOW_OTHER -v true
​
Restart Suite!
