web terminal accessing /Workspace/Users under tmux

[Twilight]

I found this old post (https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/databricks-cluster-web-terminal-different-permi...) that was never really answered.

I am having the same problem.  If I am in the raw terminal, I can access /Workspace/Users just fine but, as soon as I use tmux, I can't access /Workspace/Users (or any other dir under /Workspace).  The permissions and id look exactly the same in both cases.

This is a major issue given that I need to access /Workspace/Users and I need to run tmux (to keep the session "alive").

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the reply.  It's been a long time since I admin'd a linux system so I'm not quite following your response.

I'm seeing the issue just by doing the following steps:

1. start webterm
2. ls /Workspace/Users (works fine)
3. tmux
4. ls /Workspace/Users (fails)

I've never seen tmux not "just work" on any other machine/VM.  Could you elaborate on your answer:

• How would tmux not be under the same user context as raw terminal?
• What environment variables need to be set correctly?
• How do I check ACLs on /Workspace/Users?  How would an ACL have an impact on raw term vs tmux?
