Office plugin problems.

[sidi]

In advance please forgive my poor English.
I have noticed that when you connect with alfresco using de Officce plugin, all de security restrictions in spaces and sub-spaces are not considered, any user can see, delete, change, copy any spaces content, create new spaces etc… It's a bug? or maybe a wrong or incomplete instalation?… Thanks if same one can clarified this for me.
Regards.

Hi

The Office Add-in user interface is provided by Alfresco web scripts, running in the context of whatever user you specified on the configuration page of the add-in window.

It sounds like the web scripts are running in the admin user's context - did you specify the admin user in the Add-in configuration screen?


Thanks,
Mike

Yes in the first access, I entered with de admin profile, then I change it to make controls of diferent user's access. You tink that once you enter with de admin profile is always using this, even if you change it?

Hi

It may re-use the admin use account if you didn't restart the Office application, as MSIE can present the previous session's cookie.

If you restart the Office application the correct user should be picked up.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I've restarted word, I cleaned cookies, and restart Word again but still have total acces, when entering the Alfresco aplication with that user via internet gets the restrictions. We have an OPENLDAP initial access control, but I think in this case maybe irrelevant. Regards.

I've repair de addin, to make sure is new, but is still not working.

An exception error occur —> Can not remove the security policy –> ERROR: Invalid label or name. The cuestion is that I was trying to start from the begining, but I cant get de office2003 addin uninstall.
Thanks.

Hi

I'm not sure what you've done to your client installation (did you try to manually delete any files? Are you trying to uninstall from a different user account?)

Regarding your "open access" issue - do each of your users have a home space? Which space is first shown when you browse to:

http://<server>:8080/alfresco/wcs/office/navigation?p=‍

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Mike for your time, I think that de problem was that I had installed two addins one for Word and one for Office, unstalling both, and installing only de one for office works properly.
