Yesterday, I installed the new beta version of Hestia (v1.9.0~beta1). After creating a new user, I attempted to use the File Manager. To my surprise, I found myself in the server’s root directory instead of the user’s home directory. I was able to access files that I shouldn’t have permission to view. This issue seems critical, but I have no idea how to replicate it reliably. I’ve attached a video below demonstrating what happened. Could you please confirm if this is a bug or if I’ve unintentionally broken something? > **[Gyazo Screen Video](https://gyazo.com/32d8bf39d3cc8b895aaf228481bafc08)** > > Gyazo is the easiest way to record screenshots & videos you can share instantly.

That’s because you’re using an administrator account. He is at the root of the current username, which is normal ---

This is not an administrator account, and if you suspect that I am havin this view because i am impersonating over an admin account, I have already verified this by logging in directly with this user account and i still can see every folder that i should not be able to see. This issue did not exist in previous versions ---

It should be the reason for the server itself. You can test it out with a different server provider We didn’t find this issue in our tests, so you can share which server provider you are using. It can help to confirm if it’s a server issue or a Hestia issue ---

I am running it in my own virtual KVM environment using Proxmox and Cloud-Init on Ubuntu 24.04 i don’t think it has something to do with that ---

What exactly do you mean by that? Are you referring to ‘jail user shell’ or something else? > **[Gyazo](https://gyazo.com/e5c592ae4e27185fdb433aef04b4c275)** > > Gyazo is the easiest way to record screenshots & videos you can share instantly.

If I reset it back to ‘nologin,’ I can once again view the full server directory tree 😕 ---

@eris Is there any fix for it? Or should I stick with version 1.8.12 for now? I’m just currently in the process of migrating my server and thought it would be a good opportunity to start fresh with the latest Ubuntu version
