Set the ACL with API by non-admin user

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We are enhancing the file upload functionalities with setting the readers of the documents. The upload user is not admin user but he can have the full control or permission owner of the folder, but we found he can't still setting the ACL of the documents he created in the folder. While if he has the admin role, he can setting the ACL successfully.

Can the permission owner be inherited? Or any other way to achieve this? Urgent! Any helpful anwser will be reward, many tks!!!!

Hi,

If you are doing it with API, always post the code.

Did you check the logfile for exception, also post them.

Is the current user permission owner of the folder/file?

If not he cannot assign permissions/ACL.

Check this for more:

Inheriting permission owner:

If you save permissions on folder/file, the system stops inheriting permissions for the object in question.

But already inherited ACL exist on the folder/file.
