Access control via Un*x file groups every now and again gets in the way.
The UiO group management interface only applies to local accounts, i.e.
the Notur accounts of non-UiO NLPL users need to be added manually to
the <tt>hpc-nlpl</tt> group by USIT staff.

Making sure that files and directories have the right set of
permissions, typically including group write permissions (to the
right group), is at times challenging.
Only the file owner can update its permissions, so that mixed-owner
collections of files may require action by multiple people (or
system administrator privileges).

When an account expires (because a team member has left the project),
file ownership remains unchanged; this becomes apparent as numerical
user ids showing up instead of actuall user names.
