KM Permission

46 Views

Hi everyone

I am fairly new to using KM in the portal, but since I'm the only one working with any experience with Enterprise Portal in my current project so I have been tasked with creating some portal applications utilizing KM.

One of the requirements I am facing is that in a given folder in a KM repository a user with a certain role must be able to create/upload new files, but NOT be able to create new folders. I have created a Java application that will create the folder hierarchy, setting the relevant permissions on the folders. The issue I am facing is that the permissions provided with the KM Java API does not seem to be sufficiently fine grained for this.

I can give any user, role etc read/write access to any folder, or make it read only, give full access etc, but I cannot find a way of disallowing folder creation only using the standard permissions. Does anyone here know a way around this?

I know I can develop a custom GUI that does not allow folder creation, but due to time constraints I'd rather use the standard KM GUI.

Best regards
