Hi Experts,

Very Urgent,

I am using static ACL which will be applied to the folders.

Using Documentum Composer imported groups which are to be mapped to the static ACL. Created group installation parameters. Then installed the project in to the docbase.

After all groups have been mapped with users and everything working fine.

There is a change of static ACL permissions. So done changes in the composer and installed again in the same docbase. After installing, All the users who are all already mapped in the particular groups were got un mapped.

How to avoid this scenario.

Any time i should be able to update  my ACL permissions but the users and groups who are all mapped with that ACL should not lose there relationship.

Help on this

Thanks

Arun

    Hi Johny,

    Thanks for your comments.

    I have did a mistake while installing ACLs from composer. For creating static ACL we will add add Group or User to assign permissions. After adding Group we have to choose the Owner group from the installation parameters. At this point creating Group installation parameter is enough for mapping the actual static Groups to the ACL's.

    What i did is, Having a wrong assumption in mind I have imported those groups to composer project which already created in docbase using DA. And after that created Group installation parameter and installed the composer project in docbase.

    So whenever I a update any artifacts in the composer project the Groups which I had imported for (ACL creation) is also got installed in to docbase and on that time the user membership to groups is removed. And all Groups are there in docbase as freshly created one without any user membership.

    And I resolved this issue by removing all the groups from the composer project and doing changes only with the Group installation parameters not with the actual groups.

    Thanks

    Strange, user membership to groups should not change in Composer.  User membership to groups is typically managed via LDAP server (ActiveDirectory) or via manually group assignment using DA.

    It might be helpful if you provided specifcs on what you are doing and the real results.
