User preferences

[xerox]

I know users can change some preferences.e.g. their start -location, dashlets,…
But how does this work if you look at the security?
Because If I look in the nodebrowser I see a normal user doesn't have write permissions on his own "configuration-preferences node".
Does this preferences changes goes around the security services?

friendly regards,

Hi,
Did you find the answer for this ?
I have the same question…..

The problem i face is when non-admin users log in to alfresco they get permission denied exception(which was working for a while but not now ). The code says error at User.java when trying to create the user preference node for the user….
I use LDAP for user import and have integrated with CAS for login.

I did few customisations where i hide the Data Dictionary and User Home space from non-admin users by appropriate rights assignment for the spaces in UI. I tested after reverting back to inital config, but the non - admin user permission error still prevails …. any idea ?

Thanks in advance,
Lakshmi
