Can't see folders of a workspace after permission are set

Hello

I'm having a problem viewing folders within a workspace of a user.
The scenario is as follows:

1. There is a template consisting of a workspace. Such workspace has 4 folders inside.
2. A user is created and associated with the workspace.
3. Permissions are assigned to the workspace.
4. Permissions are assigned to each child folders.
5. When the new created user enters to his workspace, the 4 sub-folders cannot be seeing.

But, if Administrator user enters to the workspace of the recently created user and apply an "update" (update button) to the permissions of the workspace, then the new created user can see the sub-folders.

This is the java code I'm using to apply persmission to workspace and permissions to child folders:

NodePermissions nodePermision = node.getPermissions();
nodePermision.setSeePermission(true);
nodePermision.setSeeContentsPermission(true);
nodePermision.setModifyPermission(true);
nodePermision.setEditAttributesPermission(true);
nodePermision.setAddItemsPermission(true);
nodePermision.setReservePermission(true);
nodePermision.setDeleteVersionsPermission(true);
nodePermision.setDeletePermission(true);
nodePermision.setEditPermissionsPermission(true);
NodeRight noderight = new NodeRight();
noderight.setPermissions(nodePermision);
noderight.setRightID(userID); //userID of created user
noderight.setType("ACL");
docman.addNodeRight(node.getID(), noderight); //node.getID()= node of workspace
//node.getID()= node of child folders

Thankyou in advance
Any idea why the subfolders are not beeing displayed?

My gut feel tells me that perhaps workspaces code uses Roles as in LL projects

Workspaces are code descendants of Projects etc

where "Roles" come into play.If that is the case somebody more knowledgeable in workspaces will probably help.

or are you saying workspace in the context of a user's personal workspace?

When the code hits and commits this line

docman.addNodeRight(node.getID(), noderight);

before the Admin pushes it can you run this sql

select * from dtreeacl where dataid=<node.get(ID)> and acltype=0;

OWNERID,PARENTID,DATAID,RIGHTID,PERMISSIONS,ACLTYPE,SEE

-3628647,3628647,??<node.get(ID)>,1001,258975,0,4

Don't worry about the others

Hello Appu, thankyou for answering !

To answer your question "or are you saying workspace in the context of a user's personal workspace?":
Yes, I'm talking about a workspace in the context of a user's personal workspace.

Meanwhile, I will try understand the rest of your answer and come back when I have some result. Thankyou.

Hello,

We solved the problem about 2 weeks ago, and now I would like to close this forum with the solution.
I did not know that some objects behaves positive and negative in the database. So, the solution was to call the addNodeRight two times, one with positive nodeID and then with negative nodeID.

docman.addNodeRight(+node.getID(), noderight);
docman.addNodeRight(-node.getID(), noderight);
