Removing user from a site when they had contributor priviledges

[sem]

Hi

Quick question - I want to set up a site that is available to all users as Consumer - it'll contain documents that everyone needs to be able to see and download.  Let's say a group of 6 users will be responsible for adding content to this site's document library.  So I add these users as members of the site.  They can upload no problem.

However, if one of the users (in the real world) changes their job so needs to be able to access this site as a consumer but no longer a contributor, in tests, if I remove them from the site as a member, they still have permission to modify any of the documents they uploaded when they were a contributor.  What's the best way of changing this please?  Or is there a better way for me to approach things?

Thanks.  I'm testing the 4.2.d (nightly 29/03/13) build.

Hello,

you need to find all documents where they are the "owner" and explicitly remove the ownerhsip. The query "(cm:creator:userName AND NOT cmwner:*) OR cmwner:userName" within the scope of the site (using PATH to limit scope) should get you all items where you need to set cmwner explicitly to "" (empty string) in order to override previous ownerhsip permissions (and make sure that cmwner is not be removed as this reverts ownership back to the user referenced by cm:creator).

HI!  Thanks - so this is a database manipulation?  OK - can this not be set as a rule for a folder?  For instance, when a file is added to a folder, the creator is set to something other than the user uploading it?  That way I'm guessing that if a user is removed from the site and only allowed consumer privileges, then they'll no longer have access to change the document.

Thanks, mark

Hello,

this is not a database manipulation and can be set in a rule as well. It is just a regular manipulation of a property. But you can not set the creator to something different in a rule since this is a protected property.
