Research direction

Start by reproducing the permission failures when one user runs a container created by another user from a shared image. Review enroot's container creation and file-permission handling, then determine how group-based access should work. Done means users in a specified group can share one container without creating duplicate containers or encountering permission errors.

Description

Right now, on a cluster with many users, each user would need to run his own container from the shared image. When trying to run the container from another user, all kinds of permissions are missing. Would there be a way to enable permission on those files for a specific group rather than for a specific user? This would allow to avoid creating the same container multiple times.
