Access one folder - two different roles - the same user account

I have a folder where I have a big quantity of documents. The problem is that the 95 % ot the accesses to the documents inside this folder, the user only needs to see the documents that he can modify - It exists one role ROL_1 created for this -, but the other 5 % he needs to see ALL documents - it exists another role ROL_2 created for this -. When you see all documents it works slowly, so I want to manage two different ways to access to the documents, and the user will work faster most of the time. It would be easy to solve this problem having two different users accounts to this different roles, but I want so resolve this problem without to create more users accounts...

Is it possible to satisfy this requirement??

definately possible. Would require custom code. Can not see a nice way to do it.

You could create a 2nd app for read only access. With that there is only 2 actions, view properties and view content, so would get performance boost from lack of validation of actions.

In your main app/ editing app, customise the folder listing code to only display items that the user has WRITE permit...

nasty nasty nasty....

Can you not write a job & method to migrate older/ not in use documents to an archived (sub) folder? Sub folders grouped by year month is a common strategy

I`m completely agree with you in that would be a better idea to build a folder distribuition logic - with years, months, beginning letters of names,....- , but the user wants a solution without using it. All the problem comes that I have one rol "rol_read_all". I need a way to access to the documents using this role, and another way to access to the documents not using this role. I´m agree that is very nasty!!!!

Here's an idea (havent tried it, so not sure if it will work):

Instead of displaying folder for files that the user has permissions to update, you could try writing a search template and use permissions function in DQL to filter out the documents he has WRITE permissions to. When the user needs to view all, he would browse to the folder. When user needs to view limited set, he would execute the search template.

This way you dont have to deal with two "roles" and no customization is required.

I have already performed this kind of cutomization by presets and custom dql queries.
