Hi

I’m experiencing an “odd” behaviour with certain permissions that are applied 
to spaces and I’m not sure if I’m just doing it wrong, it’s a bug or a 
limitation of the design.

Basically we have a space for each department (e.g. Sales, Accounts, HR etc.). 
I have then created 3 groups for each department examples as below:


-          Sales-Admin – Full permissions including admin

-          Sales-Write – All permissions except Admin rights

-          Sales-Read – View and Comment rights only

What I’ve had is if a user is in Sales-Admin group, then they cannot see any of 
the documents unless they are also a member of the Sales-Write group. This 
seems strange to me.

Basically we have

Sales-Admin contains:
UserA
UserB

Sales-Write contains:
UserC
UserD

Sales-Read contains:
No users in this group

The permissions are set as follows in the order it appears:

Sales Admin – View=Ticked, Comment=Ticked, Edit=Ticked, Delete=Ticked, 
Admin=Ticked
Sales-Read – View=Ticked, Comment=Ticked, Edit=Deny, Delete=Deny, Admin=Deny
Sales-Write = View=Ticked, , Comment=Ticked, Edit=Ticked, Delete=Deny, 
Admin=Deny

In some cases instead of specific deny, we just don’t tick that specific 
permission and still have issues with users not being able to see things unless 
they are made a member of another group.

Hopefully someone can help implement the permissions correctly with granular 
control. Thanks in advance for your time.


Kind regards,
