Issue

  • When assigning permissions to Documents or Web Content assets, after selecting permissions for users on the first page, navigating to the second page, and saving, only the permissions selected on the second page are being saved.
  • I would expect the values selected in the first page to be also kept.

Environment

  • 2024.Q1

Resolution

  • The permissions modal window's search container's ability to save data is limited to the current page, so this behavior is currently expected.

Additional Information

  • There are two available workarounds:

    • If roles are paginated, permission assignments must be saved before navigating to a new page

    • Alternately, you can configure a bigger page size to display more roles (by increasing the number of elements that can be displayed at once)

      • For example, you can set the following to allow pagination values of 5, 50, 100, and 200:

        • search.container.page.delta.values=5,50,100,200

  • If you would like a modification to this behavior to be explored, please open a feature request as described in Requesting a New Feature or Feature Improvement
