This sounds like there is room for optimization, right? Why not always allow read access to data that is never returned to the outside? Peter, is it this you wanted to indicate?

Jun,
currently it's a *must* in Slide. The Slide "helpers" (which build-up
the Slide engine) internally need read access to all upstream folders to
check permissions and locking, or resolve bindings. As currently the
"helpers" cannot distinguish internal from original calls, they check
the preconditions on each call.

Subject: Why need read privilege on upstream folders to achieve a write permission


Hi everybody,

I've a problem about Slide ACL. What we want is very simple:
We have a document tree managed by slide. We want to assign write priviliges on some nodes(folders) to specific users.
However, we found the users with assigned write privileges still cannot write on those nodes until we assign the users read privileges on all upstream folders.


For example, the document tree is like this:

A1
 - B1
 - B2
     - C1
         - D1
     - C2
 - B3

We want to assign user Don write privilege on D1. However, we found although the write privilege is granted successfully, Don still can't write in D1 (like create a subfolder). But if we assign Don read privilege on C1, B2 and A1, then he can write in D1.

I'd like to know whether this is a must in Slide or we can change some configuration to skip assigning read privilege on the upstream folders. Thanks.

regards,

Jun
