Can't create Folders with specific User

Hi,

we are trying to create a Folder on Content Server (16.2) via the following REST API:

  • POST /api/v2/nodes

But we get the following error: "You do not have permission to create Folder items. (SubType: 0).". The user we are using is enable to create other types of objects, such as Business Workspaces, but he can't create Folders.

Is there any Content Server settings to enable a specific user to create a folder?

Thank you,

Simone

    Hi @Greg Griffiths,

    the problem was that in the "Administer Object Privileges" section the creation of the object Folder was restricted to a group of users. I added my user in that group.

    Thank you for the answer.

    permission to create comes down to two main things :

    1. Is the subtype allowed for that user on the Admin pages (?func=admin.adminfactories) ?
    2. Does the user have the permissions to create content in that location ?

    Can you login with the same user via the browser to the same location and see what is in the Add Item menu ?
