Restrict file dialog view to specific folders

Is there a way to restrict the LibreOffice Writer “Save As”, “Open” file dialog window so that it only allows users to look in specfic folders on a system. Specifically I’m trying to prevent the user from viewing the contents of /usr and other related system folders. I’m currently using LibreOffice 4.0.4.2 for RHEL 6. I suspect this will have to be changed in the code but I don’t know where to start. Thanks!

This is a pure system issue.

If the user is able to view/access directory contents via the terminal, they will be able to view/access those same directory(s) via LO. Thus, review the:-

  • directory group/user permissions to prevent access to that directory
  • directory content group/user permissions to prevent access to opening the content

If this helps then please tick the answer (:heavy_check_mark:)
