Bug found in permissions

[mamunoz]

OK.  I am the admin of our install and I use this account to do everything in Alfresco.  Lately a lot of my users have been having issues with workflows not giving them permissions to complete the task.  I have found out it is because the file doesn't allow the user to delete even though the folder it is in allows them those rights.

To reproduce I can create a test document start a workflow that MOVES the file to a different folder with different permissions then a standard user has to Approve said file.  This workflow then MOVES said file to another folder.  Well they can't move it because they can't delete it.  If a standard users starts this process from the beginning the permissions and workflow works as it should.  Also if I create the permissions don't show anything weird on it either.

That doesn't sound like a "bug" but a permissions problem with your workflow.   

You need to work through the permissions of your files and folders and if your workflow needs to do something that would not normally be allowed then you will need to "run as" with a higher authority.

Well my workflow is nothing more than a simple workflow that moves a file from one folder within a site to a different folder in the same site.  The folders have the same access levels.  Why is it that files created by an admin aren't deletable by a coordinator or collaborator of the site when they have said permissions on the folder?

Could be ALF-6192.

Hi

When the workflow is underway - check the permissions reported for the doc in the folder where it will be deleted.
Does the doc you create inherit permissions? Is this the same after the move?
