Recursively assigning an owner...

[yann_hamon]

I am quite new to alfresco and it kind of drives me mad I wanted to give coordinator rights to a space I created, which contains a complex subspaces structure. So I set him has coordinator for that space. Unfortunately, although he seems to have write access in this space, he doesn't have write access to the subdir. I then decided to make hi the owner of the folder, but it seems that he is only owner for THIS space only and not any of it subspaces.  I spent the last three hourd trying to understand how to get this to work

Any hint of how I could make one space and all the subspaces belong to a person, without having to go to all of them one by one?

thank you…..

Have you tried to set "Inherit parent space permissions" to true on your child spaces?

Oh boy I think I found the bug… I think it is a really bad, bad one
The name of the account is well, let's say John.Doe.

I can successfully log in with john.doe both on the ftp, and the web interface. But the rights are definitely wrong, I do NOT have access to the spaces I should.

When logging on with John.Doe (note the capitals) it is actually working and the permissions are fine. So both with and without capital login names can log in, but only the login with the capital letters has the rights…

:cry:

Hi

Can you add a description of your authentication configuration.

When you login with the user name in various cases, after you have logged in, what is shown in the top bar as the logged in user?

Have you changed any of the configuration settings to do with case sensitivity?
