Disabling Inherit Permission in Alfresco

mehtaneha747 — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 12:13:39 GMT

Hi,

When I disable inherit permission from Share for a particular node, the default site manager permission is automatically applied to that. But when I disable inherit permission through permission service, it will disable the permission even for the site manager.

this.permissionService.setInheritParentPermissions(node,false);

This doesn't apply the site manager permission on the given node. But it should not work like that because site manager should have all the access on the site.

How can I get the site manager permission even if an inherit permission is disable through permission service?

Please guide me through this.

Thank you.

It is the default behavior on share ui. It defaults site manager RBAC as far as i know.

When you are using java api, you need to set the permission to site manager and disable inheritance if this what you are trying to achieve.
