User with only read-permissions on a folder cannot read a folder ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-2033 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2033 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Portal CMS Reporter: Wulf Rowek Assigned To: Sohil Shah In the ACLInterceptor is special part of code (applyFilter method), which was obousily created to hide items from a user which have no write access and browse in a tool portlet (i.e. CMSAdmin) but this aim should not be satisfied on ACL-Level, in my opinion, cause it's a contradiction, that a user have read permission but cannot read the item. and to read a folder by a user seems to be a legitimate request, even if he has no write permission, i.e. to build a folder-index and browse a folder. possible solution: specify the need of the result in the command (i.e. only read or something else) and don't filter, if the result of the command will be needed for reading only. or maybe better: filter on application level, after the result was catched from the command by the excecuter at this moment, i just commented out this line in applyFiler securityContext.removeAttribute("command"); to disable this feature at all and to give read-permitted users read access -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
