    I’m using 0.9.6.3

    I created the following role with these permissions:

    Change password
    Create new documents
    Edit a document
    Save documents
    Publish documents
    Delete documents
    Use the file manager

    BobBrown’s Manager User Group is Chapters - Chapter A.
    BobBrown manages the document group Editors - Chapter A
    BobBrown’s Web User Group is Chapter A Members. He maintains resources only for this web group.

    So, under Manager Permissions, User/Document Group links look like this:

    Chapters - Chapter A
    Editors - Chapter A (manager document group only)
    Members - Chapter A (this document group is also used in Web users)

    Each manager user belongs to an assigned manager group and webgroup and has their own node on the site tree to maintain.

    When the editor for that group signs in, I want the documents that they create in their section of the site tree to inherit the assigned manager and web groups. However, this isn’t happening. The webpages and weblinks that the manager users create are all public.

    I’ve enabled Access Permissions and Web Access Permissions, but I don’t want them to see all of the document groups that exist since I don’t want them to assign access to any other groups other than their own.

    How do I make the manager user inherit the permissions that they’re assigned?

    Thanks.

      You would need to write a plugin to alter the Document Groups they can select when creating/editing a Document. Seems like I’ve seen similar efforts described here in the forums before, but I can’t find them right now.

        This works when I’m logged in as an admin, but doesn’t when I’m logged in as some other type of user.

        Does this have to be done in Evolution as well?
