Adding a store to GeoServer: Restricting access to file system

Geographic Information Systems Asked on February 19, 2021

When adding a store to Geoserver I can restrict access to the underlying file system by modifying web.xml (ref: https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/security/webadmin/filebrowse.html). However, is it possible to restrict access for a given user in GeoServer to a specific directory on the underlying server?

I’ve looked into Geofence, but as far as I can tell all users added to GeoServer will still be able to browse to all of the GeoServer data when adding a store. Preferably I would like to specify access to a particular directory on the server for a given GeoServer user when they add a new store. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I’m using GeoServer 2.16.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.

There is no way to do that, at present at least (with GeoServer 2.16.x or 2.17.x). It could be implemented with some coding effort/sponshorship.
