Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get around the permissions problems?&nbsp; I thought that using multiple parents would work, but it seems to be using the primary parent (the moderated site) for access permissions instead of the current site.&nbsp; Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:52:18 GMT kcolen 2013-02-12T15:52:18Z Content posted across multiple sites https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/content-posted-across-multiple-sites/m-p/277659#M230789 I have a requirement to allow users to "cross-post" content (in this case, discussions, but could apply to any content type) to multiple sites.&nbsp; Note that this is NOT referring to&nbsp; a copy of the content, but instead is allowing users to see the same content object in different sites.&nbsp; I have found 2 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:52:18 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/content-posted-across-multiple-sites/m-p/277659#M230789 kcolen 2013-02-12T15:52:18Z Re: Content posted across multiple sites https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/content-posted-across-multiple-sites/m-p/277660#M230790 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>After some prototyping, I found that I could determine the "best" site in terms of permissions and create the discussion object in that site (which becomes the primary parent) and make the other sites secondary parents.&nbsp; This seemed to solve the permissions problem for the users.&nbsp; So is it possible to change the primary parent of a node if we want to remove the discussion from one site but not the others, and that site happens to be the primary?&nbsp; How would you go about moving something to a new parent site, if you don't have access to that site?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:27:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/content-posted-across-multiple-sites/m-p/277660#M230790 kcolen 2013-02-12T17:27:00Z
