documentSecurityUpdated not triggered for child documents

[Zakariyaa]

Hi everyone,
Thanks in advance for your help. I’m facing a small issue: when I update the security settings (permissions) on a parent workspace, the documentSecurityUpdated event is only triggered for the workspace itself, not for the documents or files inside it.

Is there a way to propagate this event or capture security changes for each child document within the workspace?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would say it's normal. Permissions are inherited in Nuxeo (unless you disable inheritance) so there's no modification of the ACL for the child documents. (Think about the impact on scale it would have if every descendant was modified just because the parent was modified).
