"Ignore permissions" should be documented

Open zertrin opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

I would like to better understand how activating this option works (especially what happens when I activate it only on one device).

After reading the previous issue, I did as suggested a google search and found this https://forum.syncthing.net/t/v0-8-10-ignore-permissions/263

This information ought to be available in the docs IMHO.

This is the docs repo, and a legitimate documentation request.

It is documented in https://docs.syncthing.net/users/config.html#folder-element, but from the point of view of the config file not the web UI and the explanation is minimal (e.g. not covering the specific question of the OP). Also as #302 points out the search is very limited, I wasn't able to find via the search, I just had to know where to look (even though "Configuration" -> "Folder Element" should be rather straight forward).

Sorry, my bad, was pretty sure its the code repo.
