tried to add content, a .doc word file to a space but error returned, 'Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.', but user is part of group that has permission to do this. The group has Coordinator role for the space.What's going on? 17:57:56,410 User

I don't have the error any more. The error seemed to occur because the folder had a number of scripts firing off of it when content was added. That seemed to be one of the causes.

I have experienced the same problem:

I get "Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation."
Here is my ActionHandler:

@Override
public void execute(ExecutionContext context) throws Exception {
final ExecutionContext finalContext = context;
RunAsWork<Boolean> work = new RunAsWork<Boolean>() {
    public Boolean doWork() throws Exception {
      doTheWork(finalContext);
      return true;
    }
};
AuthenticationUtil.runAs(work, "admin");
}

If I comment the "doTheWork" line, then I don't get the error.

doTheWork creates a file in the current space.
- If I execute it in a space that contains a content rule (transform to PDF in the same space), then error.
- If I execute it in a space that contains no content rule, then no error.

I think the Java code is executed as admin, but the content rule is executed as the user. So if the rule writes something, an error comes.

Hope this helps
