Thanks for your reply. But this is quite disrupting from my point of view .
My comprehension from reading the book on Alfresco by Munwar Shariff is that usually you have to assign roles/permission on space, not to user basis but to group basis to be more configurable. This on the ground that all users belonging to a group have the same capabilities. And this is actually my need.If this is not true what is the group concept useful for ?
Anyway have you any suggestion to enforce on Alfresco this behavior ?.
all users of a group with a given role on a space, whatever this is, has the same capability on contents in this space regardless which is the contents creator ?
Actually just user admin seem to behave this way.
A pointer to where look for on the topic is welcome as well ?

thanks a lot

Hi to all,
after plenty test, docs search and forum chats I've come to this asumptions.

The clerance to perform a simple-workflow move action on a content in a space depends on:

a) role of the current user's group on the space
b) current user versus content creator / content modifier

I 've not found docs anywhere that clarify this topic.

By test experience I've found that I could enforce my simple work flow design if I could perform the 'move' actions with 'admin' grant.

The question is: Is it by priciple possible to write a javaScript action bound to a document on the space that in a transactional manner switch to admin privileges move the content set modifier as current usser and switch back to current user ?

thanks for your help
