Issue #7829
Updated by daviddavis about 4 years ago
Assume that you have a directory that exists and is writable but you don't own it. You should be able to export to it but it fails currently.
Steps to reproduce:
```
$ sudo mkdir /data
$ sudo chmod -r 777 /data
$ pulp file remote create --name test --url https://fixtures.pulpproject.org/file/PULP_MANIFEST
$ pulp file repository create --name test --remote test
$ pulp exporter pulp create --name test --path /data --repository test file
$ pulp export pulp run --exporter test
```
Error:
```
File "/home/vagrant/devel/pulpcore/pulpcore/app/tasks/export.py", line 172, in pulp_export
os.chmod(pulp_exporter.path, 0o775) # let owner and group read and write the directory
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/data'
```
