Folder Security Limited to Top Level Folders

Post by ChrisElecsys » Mon Nov 19, 2012 8:21 am

We recently upgraded to SourceGear Vault 6.0. Now when I try to set folder security through the Admin interface, I can only access the top level folders in each repository. For example, in our Document Control repository, I can set the security for the two top level folders Development and Released Projects but I cannot access any of the folders under these two top level folders. Only the two top level folders show up Folder Security Admin page. Prior to upgrading to 6.0 I think that I was able set folder security on lower level folders.

For SourceGear Vault 6.0, are folder security setting limited to the top level folders in each repository?

Thanks,

Chris

You should be able to set folder security on any sub folder.

Are you logged in as admin, or as your own user name with admin level rights?

Even though you are a Global Admin, the actual top level admin can still limit your access individually.

Log in with the user name of admin and the password that was set for that user during the install. Then check your user name's rights on the folders that you want to set rights on.

On the Folder Security page, only the top level folders are displayed. When I click on a top level folder, sub-folders are not displayed.

When I log in as Admin, Folder Security still only displays the top level folders. Clicking on a top level folder does not displays subfolders.
