Could not save self-service choices to /Users/Shared/.SelfServeManifest

[indyny]

Hello Everyone,
I received the following message when attempting to do an optional install.

Changing the permissions in /Users/Shared
from
drwx--x--t   5 root     wheel   170 Feb  8 11:21 Shared
to
drwx--xrwx   5 root     wheel   170 Feb  8 11:21 Shared

Fixed the problem. The only problem is my company disables the /Users/Shared folder.
So I'm wondering is there a workaround for this issue?
Many thanks in advance!
Angel

No. Managed Software Center requires that the /Users/Shared folder exist and be world-writable. This, of course, is the standard configuration as shipped from Apple.

Angel,

I think this is something you might want to bring up with your company. If they're deploying Managed Software Center but also disabling /Users/Shared for users, every client machine's MSC will essentially be broken.

Thank you both for your reply.

I will bring it up with my manager.

Keep up the good work!

Sorry to bring this back, but what are the correct permissions for the /Users/Shared folder.  On my mac they are system,wheel,everyone read and write, and in terminal:

drwxrwxrwt  49 root          wheel         1666 Nov 13 14:25 Shared

I have a mac that has fouled permissions, and I want to set them back to how they should be.  It doesn't look like this:

{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null

will help with that, if this is even safe to run.

Thanks,

Yehuda
