Hi everybody.

I'm using DMX 6.0.0 on DNN 5.5.1

I created 3 roles, RoleRead, RoleAdd and RoleEdit
The root directory has the following permissions:
RoleRead: VIEW
RoleAdd: VIEW,ADD
RoleEdit: VIEW,EDIT,ADD,APPROVE

Only the administrator can set the permissions.

If User1 in RoleAdd creates a new sub directory, the new sub directory has the following permissions:
RoleRead: VIEW
RoleAdd: VIEW,EDIT,ADD
RoleEdit: VIEW,EDIT,ADD,APPROVE

Why the EDIT perm. is added to RoleAdd? I would like to know if there is a way to force the parent directory permissions on the sub directories and files because User2 in RoleAdd can delete the files added by User1.

I tried to check "Unify permissions on children" but this works only the first time (if User1 adds a new folder, the new folder has the EDIT perm for RoleAdd).

Thank you for your attention.

Hi Valentino,

The reason is that the RoleAdd can create folders under the root folder. It is assumed that this means that that user can still edit that new folder after creation (e.g. when they accidentally gave a wrong name). So we designed it so that ADD permissions are merged with EDIT to become the EDIT permissions of the underlying content.

Thank you for your answer.
