When we drag and drop a document from one folder to another, is there a way to have the file automatically inherit the permissions from the destination folder? From what I can see, the file continues to use the permissions assigned from the original folder, which means users of the destination folder cannot automatically see the new file without a manual permissions change made to it. Thank you.

With a "move" it should keep its old security settings and with a copy it should get the default permissions of the parent. This is how Windows works. But we're looking into making this optional. In the meantime I've understood there is a bug in this logic and permissions are not correctly set on copy. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
