Share error

[iea]

Hi,

i´m new in Alfresco and I´m playing a bit with the user permissions. I finally managed to setup the users successfully. But now (I dont know why 🙂  I can not access the share page anymore.

I get following error: ( I have to mention that i removed a site using the alfresco explorer. )

type Exception report

It is not advised to touch anything in Alfresco, which is supposed to be manipulated in Share.

At any case - did you try removing that user and adding that user again?
