Hello Everybody,

we have a slight problem with a series of web experiments. The explanation of what happened is rather tedious but please bear with me. Things went as follows:

1. We have one web account for which multiple users are registered (i.e., my student assistants, a coworker, and myself). Let's call this account "web2"
2. A few months ago we uploaded multiple web scripts for this account, say A1, A2, A3
3. Data collection occurred into the folders web2/A1, web2/A2, web2/A3. Up to this point, everything went fine
4. Then, we coded new versions of the experiments, having the same logic but a few different elements (e.g., png instead of bmp images, different instructions)
5. We deleted the old experiments A1, A2, A3
6. We uploaded the new experiments which had exactly the same names as the old experiments, i.e., A1, A2, A3. Upload was done by userX
7. We forgot to delete the old data folders (yeah, I know...)
8. Few of the experiments had errors which were corrected by another person with the login userY
9. Now, part of data collection goes into the subfolders web2/userX/A1, ...,  and the other part into web2/userY/A2, ...
10. No data is stored in the original folders web2/A1, ...
11. Only the account "admin" or whatever I am can see all subfolders. userX does not see the accounts for userY, and vice versa, and userZ sees neither

First, excuse our scenario being quite the screw-up. Second, my question would be how to fix this. It's ok for us that data are collected in subfolders with specific usernames. It's a slight problem, however, that not all users registered for the account web2 can see all data folders for this account.

Best wishes
