Configuration

With OX App Suite 7.10.4, several modes were introduced defining the behaviour on Drive folder move. This mode can be set for every folder tree separately via three new properties: * com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic - sets the mode for moving folders within or into the public folder tree * com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate - sets the mode for moving folders within or into the private folder tree * com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared - sets the mode for moving folders within or into the shared folder tree

Possible modes are one of * merge - Merge permissions from moved folder and new parent folder * inherit - Inherit folder from new parent folder, previous permissions from moved folder are dropped * keep - Keep permissions from moved folder as is, don't change anything where keep is the default for all three properties. Please be aware that when merging two permissions for the same user results in the permissions with more rights to win. E.g. when merging a viewer and and author permission for the same user the author permissions wins.

Examples

Assuming User1 does move operations in the following Drive folder tree:

My files
 - Folder 1
 - Folder 2
 - Folder 3

Public files
 - Public folder 1
 - Public folder 2

Shared files
 - User2
    - Shared folder 1

where User1 has administrative permission for folders Folder 1, Folder 2 and Folder 3 and Author permission for Public folder 1, Public folder 2 and Shared folder 1.
User2 has administrative permission for folder Shared folder 1, Reviewer permission for Folder 1, Viewer permission for Folder 2 and Folder 3 and Author permission for Public folder 1.
And all users have viewer permission for public folders and Folder 3.
Note: In this scenario the public folders have to be created by a third user who granted Author permission to User1 and User2 for those folders. Apart from that the third user is not required and won't be mentioned in this scenario for simplification.

Private folders

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate=merge

When moving Folder 2 into Folder 1 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate set to merge, Folder 2 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 has administrative permission for both folders, no permission change * User2 had Reviewer permission for Folder 1 and Viewer permission for Folder 2. Merging results in Reviewer permission for Folder 2

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate=inherit

When moving Folder 1 into Folder 2 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate set to inherit, Folder 1 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 has administrative permission for both folders, no permission change * User2 had Reviewer permission for Folder 1 and Viewer permission for Folder 2. Inheriting Folder 2's permission lead to Viewer permission for Folder 1

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate=keep

When moving Folder 1 into Folder 2 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPrivate set to keep, Folder 1 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 has administrative permission for both folders, no permission change * User2 had Reviewer permission for Folder 1, no permission change

Public folders

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic=merge

When moving Folder 1 into Public folder 1 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic set to merge, Folder 1 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 1 * User2 had Reviewer permission for Folder 1, merge with Author permission for Public folder 1 results in Author permission for Folder 1 * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is unchanged

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic=inherit

When moving Folder 1 into Public folder 2 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic set to inherit, Folder 1 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 1 * User2 had Reviewer permission for Folder 1 and no permissions for Public folder 2, so User2's permissions for Folder 1 are dropped * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is unchanged

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic=keep

When moving Folder 1 into Public folder 2 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToPublic set to keep, Folder 1 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 1 * User2 keeps Reviewer permission for Folder 1 * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is unchanged

Shared folders

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared=merge

When moving Folder 3 into Shared folder 1 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared set to merge, Folder 3 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 3 * User2 gains administrative permission for Folder 3 * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is unchanged

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared=inherit

When moving Folder 3 into Shared folder 1 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared set to inherit, Folder 3 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 3 * User2 gains administrative permission for Folder 3 * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is dropped

com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared=keep

When moving Folder 3 into Shared folder 1 and com.openexchange.folderstorage.permissions.moveToShared set to keep, Folder 3 has following permissions after the move operation: * User1 keeps administrative permission for Folder 3 * User2 keeps Viewer permission for Folder 3 * Viewer permission for group 'AllUsers' is unchanged
