Hi

Can you maybe give the steps that you follow to do this and what version of Alfresco you are using. are doing this from share or explorer interface?

make sure that you understand what/how "inherit permissions" work.

I am using alfresco 4.2.c. I like to do this in Share.

For example, in the Home Space Directory in the Repository, I have user spaces A and B. All these space are private or hidden. I did this by leaving a blank in the web-client-config.xml. I did this because my OJT supervisor told me that he wanted to make the content items of "A" hidden from "B". It will only become visible to B if A shares these content items to B. Now, I have no idea about this.

I did share one item from "A". Then I logged in using B. But I didnt see the item which "A" shared.

I think I understood "inherit permissions". Correct me if I am wrong, if this is checked, then the parent permission is inherited to the current item/space I am doing?

Thank you for the help..
