+[h4]I am able to edit a post's text after I saved it, but is there a way to change the permissions?[/h4]
Short anser: No, there isn't. There are reasons. You are able to change permissons to your files, photos and the likes, but not to posts after you have saved them. The main reason is: Once you have saved a post it is being distributed either to the public channel and from there to other $Projectname servers or to those you intended it to go. Just like you cannot reclaim something you gave to another person, you cannot change permissions to $Projectname posts. We would need to track everywhere your posting goes, keep track of everyone you allowed to see it and then keep track of from whom to delete it.
If a posting is public this is even harder, as $Projectname is a global network and there is no way to follow a post, let alone reclaim it reliably. Other networks that may receive your post have no reliable way to delete or reclaim the post.

+[h4]I downloaded my channel and imported it (cloned my identity) to another site but there is no content, no posts, no photos. What is wrong???[/h4]
Posts and photos/files are provided separately from the channel basic information. This is due to memory limitations dealing with years of conversations and photo archives. Posts and conversations can be synced separately from the basic channel information. Photos and file archives can be transferred using a plugin tool such as 'redfiles', which is currently listed as "experimental". When creating this feature we thought that keeping all your contacts was the most important task. Your friends have already seen your old content. Posts/conversations were next in priority and these may now be synced. Files and photos are the last bit to get completely working. Once we find someone willing to finish implementing this, it will be done. :)

-
-The most important features for a channel that represents "me" are:
-[ul]
-[*]Secure and private "spam free" communications
-
-[*]Identity and "single-signon" across the entire network
-
-[*]Privacy controls and permissions which extend to the entire network
-
-[*]Directory services (like a phone book)

-In short, a channel that represents yourself is "me, on the internet".
-
-[h3]Creating channels[/h3]
-
-You will be required to create your first channel as part of the sign up process. You can also create additonal channels from the "Select channel" link.
-
-You will be asked to provide a channel name, and a short nick name. For a channel that represents yourself, it is a good idea to use your real name here to ensure your friends can find you, and connect to your channel. The short nickname will be used to generate a "webbie". This is a bit like a username, and will look like an email address, taking the form nickname@domain. You should put a little thought into what you want to use here. Imagine somebody asking for your webbie and having to tell them it is "llamas-are_kewl.123". "llamasarecool" would be a much better choice.
-
-Once you have created your channel, you will be taken to the settings page, where you can configure your channel, and set your default permissions.
-
-Once you have done this, your channel is ready to use. At [observer=1][observer.url][/observer][observer=0][baseurl]/channel/username[/observer] you will find your channel "stream". This is where your recent activity will appear, in reverse chronological order. If you post in the box marked "share", the entry will appear at the top of your stream. You will also find links to all the other communication areas for this channel here. The "About" tab contains your "profile", the photos page contain photo albums, and the events page contains events share by both yourself and your contacts.
-
-[h3]The grid, permissions and delegation[/h3]
-
-The "Grid" page contains all recent posts from across $Projectname network, again in reverse chronologial order. The exact posts that appear here depend largely on your permissions. At their most permissive, you will receive posts from complete strangers. At the other end of the scale, you may see posts from only your friends - or if you're feeling really anti-social, only your own posts.
-
-As mentioned at the start, many other kinds of channel are possible, however, the creation procedure is the same. The difference between channels lies primarily in the permissions assigned. For example, a channel for sharing documents with colleagues at work would probably want more permissive settings for "Can write to my "public" file storage" than a personal account. For more information, see the [zrl=[baseurl]/help/roles]permissions section[/zrl].
-
-You can also delegate control of your channels' posts and connections, but not its configurations, to another channel. That is done by editing a connection and assigning it the permission to administer your channel's resources.

You should put a little thought into what you want to use here. Imagine somebody asking for your webbie and having to tell them it is "llamas-are_kewl.123". "llamasarecool" would be a much better choice.
+
+Once you have created your channel, you will be taken to the settings page, where you can configure your channel, and set your default permissions.
+
+Once you have done this, your channel is ready to use. At [observer=1][observer.url][/observer][observer=0][baseurl]/channel/username[/observer] you will find your channel "stream". This is where your recent activity will appear, in reverse chronological order. If you post in the box marked "share", the entry will appear at the top of your stream. You will also find links to all the other communication areas for this channel here. The "About" tab contains your "profile", the photos page contain photo albums, and the events page contains events share by both yourself and your contacts.
+
+[h4]The grid, permissions and delegation[/h4]
+
+The "Grid" page contains all recent posts from across $Projectname network, again in reverse chronologial order. The exact posts that appear here depend largely on your permissions. At their most permissive, you will receive posts from complete strangers. At the other end of the scale, you may see posts from only your friends - or if you're feeling really anti-social, only your own posts.
+
+As mentioned at the start, many other kinds of channel are possible, however, the creation procedure is the same. The difference between channels lies primarily in the permissions assigned. For example, a channel for sharing documents with colleagues at work would probably want more permissive settings for "Can write to my "public" file storage" than a personal account. For more information, see the [zrl=[baseurl]/help/roles]permissions section[/zrl].
+
+You can also delegate control of your channels' posts and connections, but not its configurations, to another channel. That is done by editing a connection and assigning it the permission to administer your channel's resources.

You may also connect with any channel by visiting the "Connections" page of your site or the Directory and typing their "webbie" into the "Add New Connection" field. Use this method if somebody tells you their webbie and you wish to connect with them. A webbie looks like an email address; for example "bob@example.com".

When you create a channel we allow you to select different 'roles' for that channel. These create an entire family of permissions and privacy settings that are appropriate for that role. Typical roles are "Social - mostly public", "Social - mostly private", "Forum - public" and many others. These bring a level of simplicity to managing permissions. Just choose a role and appropriate permissions are automatically applied. You can also choose 'Custom/Expert mode' and change any individual permission setting in any way you desire.
-[h2]Default Permission Limits[/h2]
+[h4]Default Permission Limits[/h4]
There are a large number of individual permissions. These control everything from the ability to view your stream to the ability to chat with you. Every permission has a limit. The scope of these permissions varies from "Only me" to "Everybody on the internet" - though some scopes may not be available for some permissions. The limit applies to any published thing you create which has no privacy or access control. For example if you publish a photo and didn't select a specific audience with permission to view it, we apply the limit. These limits apply to everything within that permission rule, so you cannot apply a limit to one photo. The limit applies to all your photos. If all your photos are visible to everybody on the internet and you reduce the limit only to friends, [b]all[/b] of your photos will now be visible only to friends.
-[h2]Access Control[/h2]
+[h4]Access Control[/h4]
Access Control is the preferred method of managing privacy in [i]most[/i] cases, rather than using permission limits. This creates lists of either connections or privacy groups (or both) and uses the access list to decide if a permission is allowed. An access list is attached to everything you publish. Unlike permission limits, if you change the access control list on a single photo, it doesn't affect any of your other photos. You can use privacy groups and a "default access control list" to create and automate the management of access control lists to provide any level of privacy you desire on anything you publish.

Once you've assigned a value here, you can use the affinity tool on the matrix page to filter content based on this number.
The slider on the matrix page has both a minimum and maximum value. Posts will only be shown from people who fall between this range. Affinity has no relation to permissions, and is only useful in conjunction with the affinity tool feature.

+[h4]Permissions[/h4]
When using WebDAV, the file is created with your channel's default file permissions and this cannot be changed from within the operating system. It also may not be as restrictive as you would like. What we've found is that the preferred method of making files private is to first create folders or directories; then visit [observer=1][baseurl]/cloud/[observer.webname][/observer][observer=0][baseurl]/cloud/username[/observer] select the directory and change the permissions. Do this before you put anything into the directory. The directory permissions take precedence so you can then put files or other folders into that container and they will be protected from unwanted viewers by the directory permissions. It is common for folks to create a "personal" or "private" folder which is restricted to themselves. You can use this as a personal cloud to store anything from anywhere on the web or any computer and it is protected from others. You might also create folders for "family" and "friends" with permission granted to appropriate privacy groups.

+
+[b]Mounting As A Filesystem[/b]
+
+To install your cloud directory as a filesystem, you first need davfs2 installed. 99% of the time, this will be included in your distributions repositories. In Debian
+
+[code]apt-get install davfs2[/code]
+
+If you want to let normal users mount the filesystem
+
+[code] dpkg-reconfigure davfs2[/code]
+
+and select "yes" at the prompt.
+
+Now you need to add any user you want to be able to mount dav to the davfs2 group
+
+[code]usermod -aG davfs2 <DesktopUser>[/code]
+
+[b]Note:[/b] on some systems the user group may be different, i.e. - "network"
+on Arch Linux. If in doubt, check the davfs documentation for your
+particular OS.
+
+Edit /etc/fstab
+
+[code]nano /etc/fstab[/code]
+
+ to include your cloud directory by adding
+
+[code]
+[baseurl]/dav/ /mount/point davfs user,noauto,uid=<DesktopUser>,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1
+[/code]
+
+Where [baseurl] is the URL of your hub, /mount/point is the location you want to mount the cloud, and <DesktopUser> is the user you log in to one your computer. Note that if you are mounting as a normal user (not root) the mount point must be in your home directory.
+
+For example, if I wanted to mount my cloud to a directory called 'cloud' in my home directory, and my username was bob, my fstab would be
+
+[code][baseurl]/dav/ /home/bob/cloud davfs user,noauto,uid=bob,file_mode=600,dir_mode=700 0 1[/code]
+
+Now, create the mount point.
+
+[code]mkdir /home/bob/cloud[/code]
+
+and also create a directory file to store your credentials
+
+[code]mkdir /home/bob/.davfs2[/code]
+
+Create a file called 'secrets'
+
+[code]nano /home/bob/.davfs2/secrets[/code]
+
+and add your cloud login credentials

+
+[code]mount [baseurl]/dav[/code]
+
+You can now find your cloud at /home/bob/cloud and use it as though it were part of your local filesystem - even if the applications you are using have no dav support themselves.
+
+[b]Troubleshooting[/b]
+
+With some webservers and certain configurations, you may find davfs2 creating files with 0 bytes file size where other clients work just fine. This is generally caused by cache and locks. If you are affected by this issue, you need to edit your davfs2 configuration.
+
+[code]nano /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf[/code]
+
+Your distribution will provide a sample configuration, and this file should already exist, however, most of it will be commented out with a # at the beginning of the line.
+
+First step is to remove locks.
+
+Edit the use_locks line so it reads [code]use_locks 0[/code].
+
+Unmount your file system, remount your file system, and try copying over a file from the command line. Note you should copy a new file, and not overwrite an old one for this test. Leave it a minute or two then do [code]ls -l -h[/code] and check the file size of your new file is still greater than 0 bytes. If it is, stop there, and do nothing else.
+
+If that still doesn't work, disable the cache. Note that this has a performance impact so should only be done if disabling locks didn't solve your problem. Edit the cache_size and set it to [code]cache_size 0[/code] and also set file_refresh to [code]file_refresh 0[/code]. Unmount your filesystem, remount your file system, and test it again.
+
+If it [i]still[/i] doesn't work, there is one more thing you can try. (This one is caused by a bug in older versions of dav2fs itself, so updating to a new version may also help). Enable weak etag dropping by setting [code]drop_weak_etags 1[/code]. Unmount and remount your filesystem to apply the changes.

+[h5]Server Notes[/h5]
Note: There have been reported issues with clients that use "chunked transfer encoding", which includes Apple iOS services, and also the "AnyClient" and "CyberDuck" tools. These work fine for downloads, but uploads often end up with files of zero size. This is caused by an incorrect implemention of chunked encoding in some current FCGI (fast-cgi) implementations. Apache running with PHP as a module does not have these issues, but when running under FCGI you may need to use alternative clients or use the web uploader. At the time of this writing the issue has been open and no updates provided for at least a year. If you encounter zero size files with other clients, please check the client notes; as there are occasional configuration issues which can also produce these symptoms.
