angela commented on OAK-929: ---------------------------- it will remove the deny entry and add a new allow entry but doesn't restore the original state of the root node. so, the finally clause should rather remove the ACE created before. therefore i would suggest to do something like - collect ACEs present on the root before - add the deny entry for the test - finally obtain the ACL for the root path and remove all entries that have not been present before {code} Set<AccessControlEntry> acesBefore = .... try { // do the test } finally { AccessControlList acl = o.a.j.commons.j.authorization.AccessControlUtils.getAccessControlList(superuser, rootPath); if (acl != null) { for (AccessControlEntry ace : acl.getAccessControlEntries()) { if (!acesBefore.contains(ace) { acl.removeAccessControlEntry(ace); } } acManager.setPolicy(rootPath, acl); superuser.save(); } } {code} > Permission changes not visible on root after refresh > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-929 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-929 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Reporter: Antonio Sanso > Assignee: Michael Dürig > Fix For: 0.9 > > Attachments: OAK-929-patch.txt > > > it looks like there is an issue on updating permission for the root node. > If the permission for the root are changed those are not "refreshed". > Any other nodes different than root seems to work though -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
