Sharing Permission Problem

Hi,

There is a permission problem on sharing. If you have the following structures with Rights:

ProjectA (R)
ProjectB (RW)

Then sharing any Subfolders from ProjectA to ProjectB will fail with:

You do not have permission to perform the operation.

Thanks,
Herbert.

Due to possible changes from folder security inheritence, this is by design. You must have R, C, and A rights on both the source item and the destination folder to execute a share.

Hi Jeff,

Guess if this is by design then we have little chance of getting this changed.
Our setup (as many others I am sure) is that we have a lot of libs which are maintained by one LibTeam. These libs can be used by others but not modified. Therefore readonly for for all users except LibTeam. If we cant share these, then we must think of something else.

Bye,
Herbert.

I wonder... What would happen if the Working Folder on the source was set to a sub folder of the physical folder's destination? Thus after a "GET" on each folder, the layout on disk would have the Shared Libraries as a sub folder of the main project.

Also, since the share violates the permissions on the source folder, another alternative is to branch or snapshot these folders into sub folder.
