Issue
-
We would like to create a subfolder that Inherits the parent folder permission.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.3
Resolution
-
To configure Liferay that enables the permission inheritance between parent and child folders, but it turned out that due to a technical limitation of the current implementation this is not an option. Our current permission system only allows VIEW permission inheritance, which is enabled by default, but this is also working somewhat differently than what you wish to achieve:
#
# Set the following to true to automatically check the view permission on
# parent categories or folders when checking the permission on a specific
# item.
#
# For example, if set to true, to be able to have access to a document, a
# user must have the view permission on the document's folder and all its
# parent folders. Or, to have access to a comment, a user must have the view
# permission on the comments's category and all its parent categories.
#
# Env: LIFERAY_PERMISSIONS_PERIOD_VIEW_PERIOD_DYNAMIC_PERIOD_INHERITANCE
#
permissions.view.dynamic.inheritance=true
