User/Group Search in 'Manage Permissions' needs 3 chars

[lercherl]

I have a folder in Alfresco share and wish to grant access to all members of our HR department. They all belong to a group that is called - surprise, surprise - HR. The "Manage Permissions" menu item only offers a search function, but no dropdown list. The problem is that the search function asks for at least three letters, and I have only two. Is there a method to fool the interface to accept two letters?

Either you can change back-end validation to accept 2 letters while searching group OR you can set permission directly through below webscript.

URL POST script: http://<server:port>/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/permissions/workspace/SpacesStore/<folder node UUID>
JSON:
{"permissions":[{"authority":"GROUP_HR","role":"Consumer"}],"isInherited":false}

Change permission as per your requirement.

Hope this helps!
