Configuring Amazon EFS file system permissions (original) (raw)

By default, only the root user (UID 0) has read, write, and execute permissions for a newly created EFS file system. For other users to modify the file system, the root user must explicitly grant them access. The user for the RDS for Oracle DB instance is in the others category. For more information, see Working with users, groups, and permissions at the Network File System (NFS) Level in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.

To allow your RDS for Oracle DB instance to read and write files on an EFS file system, do the following:

• Mount an EFS file system locally on your Amazon EC2 or on-premises instance.
• Configure fine grain permissions.

For example, to grant other users permissions to write to the EFS file system root, run chmod 777 on this directory. For more information, see Example Amazon EFS file system use cases and permissions in the Amazon Elastic File System User Guide.
