Hi
I have a shared area that contains a bunch of saved flipcharts. Flipcharts are stored in a variety of folders, some within subfolders a few levels deep. The shared area is hosted on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard server. Clients are 10.5.8 and are running AS 3.6.
Access to the folders and files are controlled by access control lists. The POSIX permissions on the majority of all folder and files are 770 admin:admin, with access to normal users granted via usergroup ACLs.
If a user tries to open a flipchart that they have full read/write access to in the Finder, AS says it is unable to open the file due to the user not having enough privileges. ActiveStudio does not appear to respect the Access Control List entries on the file. If the POSIX permissions are changed so that the owner of the file is the user that is trying to open it, everything works as expected.
If the 'other' entry is changed to read only, the user can open the file but, as expected, cannot edit it.
If the other entry is changed to read/write, the user can open and edit the file.
If a user that is having this issue is dragged onto the 'effective permissions inspector' tab within Server Admin, it is reported that they have full read/write access to the flipchart, granted by way of the ACL.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Regards
Stuart
