cannot remove locking owner on Resource Gallery Items
|
|
| kaiserkaman 2006-09-20, 1:22 pm |
| We have a growing number of users that cannot save certain pages b/c that
user does not have rights to attachments/items in the placeholders on the
page. These images have a locking owner of a moderator that is no longer
with our company (hence the growing problem). Current moderators can save
changes, but not Editors.
Further, whenever someone creates a new resource gallery item they remain as
the locking owner.
Two questions:
1. How do I reset the locking owner to Everyone on Resource Gallery Items
2. How do I force the locking owner to Everyone after a user creates a new
Resource Gallery Item?
As best I can tell, all permissions are set correctly in Site Manager to the
appropriate channel and resource gallery... but these users are still having
problems so I suspect it is the "locking owner" not being released to
Everybody.
Kanpai,
Paul

| Hi Paul,
that behavior is by design. When adding an item through API the user will
always be the owner.
But this will not cause any problems.
I don't think that the problem you see is related to the fact that the items
are locked by a user that is no longer with the company as MCMS does not
test this fact when it saves a page.
It sounds more like you have other problems in your database.
I would suggest to open a support case to get this problem analyzed in more
details.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Stefan,
Thanks for the quick response! I want to give you a few more details just
to make sure I'm not leading you down the wrong path. The exact error
message this user receives is:
Save Placeholder Failed
-----------------------------------------------------------
Error Details:
The current user does not have rights to edit the requested item. If you are
seeing this exception when a MCMS template is executing, it means that you
have removed the CmsAuthorizationModule from the HttpModules section of your
web.config. You can only remove this module if: 1. All requests for every
MCMS template in the web application will only be accessed by anonymous users
2. Guest access is enabled in MCMS (via the SCA) 3. The MCMS guest user has
access to all postings based on templates in the web application If any of
these requirements are not met, you MUST register the CmsAuthorizationModule
in your web.config.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The oddity is:
1. this user has been editing / saving the page for some time and only
recently began encountering this problem.
2. he can recreate and save the page initially but as soon as he tries to
edit / save and 2nd time, he encounters this message.
3. moderators / administrators have no problem making changes to the same page
4. my supervisor tells me that he was once able to run a script to remove
the "locking owner" from the resource gallery and this corrected a similar
problem
Again, thanks so much for your help!

| Hi Paul,
that means that the current user does not have rights to a resource gallery
item or the template.
This will happen if you have references to deleted resource gallery items in
your posting.
You can resolve this using the hints in this article:
