Hi together,

thanks for the great forum. There is a lot of helpful information here.

I am struggling at the moment with something I hope you can help me with.

We have ADDM 8.3

We would like to use the attachment-functionality for saving documents for server. It is ok, if everybody in ADDM can read the documents but the management (Saving and deletion) of the documents should be restricted.

I have played with the rights in ADDM and even with the read-only-group without any write permissions, that user could delete and attach documents. While attaching the document, the notification came: “Permission Denied You do not have permission to access this system. Please contact your System Administrator.” But the document was still attached.

Also in the tw_svc_security.log with debug-level I couldn’t figure out, how I could deny the user attaching and deleting attachments.

Is there a specific permission that manages this or how can I prefent user from deleting documents?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Ferry

Hi,

I tested some more and found following:

When I save an attachment with the read-user, I can see and read it with the admin-user. When I search for it in the “advanced Search”, it isn’t listed.

When I do the same with an admin-user, it is listed with the “advanced search”. When I delete it with the read-user, I can still find it with the “advanced search”.

Could it be, that some things are prohibited by permissions and others not?

Thanks

Ferry
