Hi All,
A brief description of the problem
Say we've got 3 sites named SiteA, SiteB and SiteC. SiteB is a subsite of SiteA. SiteC is a subsite of SiteB. So the following chain applies: SiteA=>SiteB=>SiteC.
The following permissions exist at site-level;
SiteA (unique permissions, no inheritance)
User1 - Administrator
User2 - Reader
User3 - Reader
SiteB (unique permissions, no inheritance)
User1 - Administrator
User2 - Reader
User3 - Reader
SiteC (unique permissions, no inheritance)
User1 - Administrator
User2 - Reader
User3 - Reader
No problem here. The users can look at the information on all sites. But what if we take away the rights of User2 at SiteB. After this we'll get the following situation;
SiteA (unique permissions, no inheritance)
User1 - Administrator
User2 - Reader
User3 - Reader
SiteB (unique permissions, no inheritance) <notice that User2 is deleted>
User1 - Administrator
User3 - Reader
SiteC (unique permissions, no inheritance)
User1 - Administrator
User2 - Reader
User3 - Reader
User2 can now look at SiteA without any problems. SiteB is not accessible for User2 because he/she has no permission here. That's also OK.
But when User2 visits SiteC he doesn't have access to this site although it is configured in the (unique) permissions which are set at Site-level!
Is this behaviour 'by design', and if so, where can I find any proof about this?
With kind regards,
ThaYoung1!
