Hello,

I think that you can do that with a content rule and a Javascript script :
- create a content rule on your folder that triggers the execution of your script when a document is created
- in your Javascript script, you can manage your permissions on the created node thanks to the Javascript API (https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/4.0_JavaScript_API#Permission_and_Security_API)
Your script has to be uploaded to /Data dictionary/Scripts folder.

Hope this help.

Thanks for the help.

It worked, to set permissions. But I´m still having a problem, the permission to the owner is fine, but the other group can´t see the files.
The script file is below:


document.setInheritsPermissions(false);
       
document.setPermission("Editor",document.getOwner());
document.setPermission("Editor","GROUP_managers");
  
var permissions = document.permissions;
var result = "";
for (var i=0; i<permissions.length; i++)
{
   result += permissions + "<br>";
}

document.properties.description = result; // Just for debug reasons ;)
document.save();
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The problem is that the file are hidden for managers on GROUP_managers

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

You don't have to set Editor permission to the owner of your node since the owner of a node already has all permissions on that specific node.
Except that, your script seems to be good. Could you check that GROUP_managers really has Editor permissions on your node after execution of your script.
