User Account creation for file deletion

[ArijitNaha]

Hi,

I am trying to create an user account who will only have read/write/deletion access to /var/log/opt/ this directory and it's associated files, directories via SSH/WINSCP. This is for manage space alerts in firewalls. However, I am unable to give correct permission thus user cannot go beyond past /var/log/opt/ location. Hence reaching out here if anyone can help on this. 

Thanks!

Such file system access restrictions are not supported as far as I know.

So, how do i approach this? I wanted to give an user to winscp access to firewall to delete old log files when any space alert issue comes.

In other words, you want a non-admin user with the ability to delete files? This will not work. Why not use one of the OS level admin accounts?
