Hi there,
I have a problem creating collections ba a user. The scenario:
There is a directory structure /test/test2. User X has all permissions on the URI /test/test2 inherited. Now he wants to create the collection /test/test2/test3 and an exception occurs.
By looking at the Slide sources I saw that for creating /test/test2/test3 the user X must have at least reading permisisons on / and /test. If he has not, an AccessDeniedException is thrown.
For the project we are working in it is important that a user has a home collection and cannot access higher level collections.
Is there any idea how we can avoid this problem without hacking the slide source?
You could give the users NON-inheritable read permissions on / and /test. This doesn't let them do anything useful with those directories, but does give them sufficient permissions that they can access stuff further down (i.e. in their home directory), as you want.
Note that the webdav ACL protocol is too limited, and you cannot set these permissions using it. You have to use the native slide interfaces.
