KM Permissions

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am currently have a problem and not sure if anyone else has come across this before.

When accessing a db repository at the highest level I am unable to change the permissions using even the administrator account.

Is there a way of fixing this issue.

Thanks

Hi Kai,

I have never experienced this issue before but then again I need some more clarity on your issue.

1. Are you able to change permissions of files/folders under the highest level?

2. Is it is a new CM repository under the root folder or the /documents CM repository

3. what is the Security Manager set to for that repository?

Hi,

Yes I can change permissions on some folders under this level, but not all. It appears very strange, but this generally I can't change any under this folder.

If I create a new repository this is working, but the existing repository fails.

Even looking at the /documents repository the same error occurs. When viewed through toolbox under KM Content and clicking the permissions details, this will then return an access denied. Or if clicking the key it will show the permissions, but no way of changing.

The security manager is set to ACL permissions (AclSecurityManager)

Thanks for your assistance so far.

That is really strange. Have you dug into the logs? Do those tell you anything more than just 'access denied'.

Hi Kai,

Make sure you are accessing it through Content Administration -> KM Content.

Also refer to SAP Note 599425.
