Alfresco Collaborator cannot do 'Move To' in 3.2

Hello, I have Alfresco Enterprise version 3.2 and this is my scenario:
1. I created a new site called A
2. Under the new site A, I added couple of Folder.
3. I invited "dummy" user to the site as Collaborator.
4. After dummy accepted the invitation, I logout and login as "dummy".

Dummy user does not seems to have "Move To" in the folder that I created earlier as Manager. However, dummy user have "Delete Folder" feature. When Dummy user created its own folder, it seems to have "Move To" feature enable.

Is this behavior normal? I mean I do not understand why a collaborator can have "Delete Folder" and "Edit Metadata" but not "Move To" folder feature. I thought Collaborator supposed to have all "Write" permission to the site.

I tried looking into the following sites, but none of them give clear answer of my confusion:

Please help.

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that I tried your scenario in Share 3.3.1 (Enterprise) and found the follows:

  • 'dummy' is able to delete folders he creates and move documents within these folders.

  • 'dummy' is not able to delete folders that others create nor move documents within them.
So the behaviour is a bit different in Share 3.3.1.

I double check the scenario in version 3.2, you are right 3.2 has same behavior as 3.3: Collaborator cannot do "Move To" or "Delete Folders" to folders that other people create. Hmm.. I thought "Collaborator" can have all write permissions to its site? I thought the only action that Collaborator cannot do are Invite or Manage Members and delete a site. Is there such role where user can have all "write" permissions to folders or documents inside the site but not the Site Membership features?
