I have the following structure setup and when the user logs in has editor there isn't any problem viewing the folders, but when they login has an author they can't even see the branch or workarea?!?
The user is in another "other". He is not within "mygrp", but the permissions on the files are rx for other.
User: myid
Groups: com_iwov, otherGrp
Why is this?
Branch (com_iwov drwxrwxr-x perms)
WORKAREA (com_iwov dr-xr-xr-x perms)
WA1 (mygrp drwxrwxr-x perms)
all_folders_below(mygrp drwxrwxr-x perms)
The Administrators guide says "View file - workarea permissions* parent directory permissions (read/execute) file permissions (read)". This same description applies for Editor also. With that said, the meaning of * is "Workarea permissions: A user has workarea permissions if he is either the primary owner of a workarea,
or if he belongs to the group that has access to the workarea. Workarea permissions are usually synonymous with read-write-access to the root directory of the workarea—the default setting for workarea permissions is 775. If different permissions are specified for the owner and group, some sections of the table below will not apply. If “world” is given read-write-execute permissions, then all users will be considered members of the workarea for those conditions indicated
with asterisks (*)."
So why do the rulles not apply the same for author and editor? Is there something I've missed or miss read?
