I would suggest you make a group called amber and add any users that will
run amber to this group. Then make the exe directory and all files in it
readable and executable by the amber group. You also need to make the dat
directory and its contents readable by the amber group. This should be all
you actually need. (obviously non-root users need access to mpirun etc). All
of the amber programs read and write from the directory the user is in when
they run the code (or if they overide it with command line arguments). Some
of the programs, such as Leap read from the dat directory.
The alternative is just to make everything under $AMBERHOME readable by the
amber group. And make the exe directory contents also executable by the the
ambergroup.
All the best
Ross
