We are on TS7.3.2, Windows 2008.
I have a requirement to allow a perticular group of users to edit only one folder in the workarea. For e.g.
WA/shared/Folder-A/Folder-1 (Group-Only should only edit contents this folder, added this group at folder level with RWX permissions)
WA/shared/Folder-B
Group Group-All (contains users: User-A) and Group-Only (contains user: User-O) given access at the branch level as Editor.
Group-All is been added to Workarea Primary Group.
Group-Only is NOT added to Workarea Primary Group. (as I dont want this group to get access to complete workarea)
Scenario 1:
Workarea restricted.
Workarea Primary Group: Group-WA
Result:
Both users user-A and User-O doesnot have access to Workarea. None of the files or folders visible.
Note: all of these questions theoritically I know, but as teamsite behaves weird sometimes thought will confirm with community.
Question :
1. (Basic) For a group to have access to WA, Is it to be added to branch configuration with appropriate access level and added to Workarea Primary group. Please confirm my understanding.
2. Is restricted means, nobody has access to workarea or Is it not meant to show folders atleast to the users having access (#1). For e.g. technically Group-All should have access to workarea.
Scenario 2:
Workarea NOT restricted.
Result:
Group-All has access (as expected).
Group-Only able to read files in workarea. But donot have access to EDIT.
Group-Only DONOT have access to the folder too (WA/shared/Folder-A/Folder-1).
Please let me know is there any way or anything wrong I am doing.
