Permissions in Dynamicweb 10

Hello fellers,

I feel like setting permissions in Dynamicweb 9 functioned in a way that I could give a user / group / role a None permission on a certain section, then I could give that user / group / role a read / write / delete permission on a child under that section and that would give the user access to just that part inside the section and nothing else.

It doesn't seem to be like that in Dynamicweb 10.

I need to limit access for two seperate user groups to Images/FolderA and Images/FolderB under Assets, so I gave their parent user groups Default Permissions = None, then I went into Assets, found Images/FolderA and gave one of the user groups the Delete permissions on that folder, but they couldn't access Assets until I gave them at least Read permissions on the section, and then they got Read on everything, except the folder I gave them Delete on, meaning I will have to go through every folder in the level where their permissions should be limited and add the None permission again...

Was this a concious change or a woopsie?

Best regards,
Arnór Geir

Hello,

regarding "None" permissions, it's expected results, since the permissions has hight priority, see manual for details, the same results are on last DW9 as well. So, if you set "None" on entire area then you not have any access to the structure at all, the same results are for group-folder has the permissions and has child items.

regardig default permiissions set on an user group, I've reproduced the issue on last DW10.18.4 as well - all admin areas are not shown with user is under the group having default permission except "None" and is logging in backend until recycling of IIS pool, I've created new task # 25298 against the bug. 

Note about other issue for Access area - permission set evindently not shown as inhirited one in the structure, will be fixed by task #25299.

BR, Oleg QA
