Ok, makes sense (and probably makes permission dialog much less verbose in some cases). What I am seeing makes less sense (or so it seems), but that may be because it does something that I don't expect when having a parent folder with sub-folders.<div>
<br></div><div>I have UserA belonging to GroupA and UserB belonging to GroupB.</div><div><br></div><div>I have a parent folder P and two sub-folders A and B, I want the general public to be denied to "read" anything inside P, UserA should be able to read A (and its contents) but not B (and vice versa for UserB).</div>
<div><br></div><div>So far my attempts involving setting permissions for "All others" by removing +r+v (and setting "overwrite inherited" and "inherit to subfolders") from folder P all ends with e.g. UserA getting false back from cmsObject.existsResource(".../P/A"). It almost appears like it overrules the other permission settings (whether they be on folder P or one of the sub-folders, or both).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can work around it, for my purpose, but maybe there is some speciel behaviour that escapes me when using "All others" and inherit to sub-folders. </div><div><br></div><div>Brs</div><div>Claus</div>
