Content does appear correctly for 'Site Member' users even though permissions appear correct

Issue

• We have a 'Web Content' set up as visible for 'Site Member' users. This 'Web Content' is under a hierarchy of folders.
• We added a 'Web Content Display' widget to show the 'Web Content'. The widget is also set up as visible for 'Site Member' users.
• The issue is when a 'Site Member' user logins and navigates to the 'Web Content Display' widget page, the 'Web Content' does not appear.

Environment

• DXP 7.4
• 2024.Q2

Resolution

• If the 'Web Content' in question has a parent folder without permissions necessary for the user to view the 'Web Content' , then it will be hidden.
  • I.E., any 'Web Content' in a folder with owner-only 'VIEW' permission will also be owner-only, regardless of the permissions of the given 'Web Content' . This also applies to every folder in the hierarchy.
